She says </span><strong><span>the West Bank exposes the weakness of claims that Israel&#8217;s violence against Palestinians is simply a response to Hamas, because Hamas does not govern there, yet Palestinians are still being killed, displaced and stripped of their land.</span></strong><span> </span></p><p><em><span>(My comment: Israel&#8217;s maltreatment of Arabs in Gaza and the West Bank is the result of their Talmud</span></em><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a><em><span>-based ethnosupremecist policy which regards Palestinians as subhuman.

Settlers pitch tents in their yards. They cut off their water and electricity. Food began to run short. Stone struck the houses. Armed men gathered outside. And, inside, parents tried to calm frightened children, never knowing whether the next sound at the door would be another stone, a gunshot or someone forcing their way in.</span></p><p><span>In one house, Josiah Aburida was trapped with his teenage son. Thousands of miles away in Ohio, his brother Lui watched through the security cameras as settlers surrounded the house until Israeli soldiers arrived, not to help, but to remove the cameras, capturing the terrifying scene.</span></p><p><span>Nearby, Roaya Hassan, endured the siege with her children. One of them is four years old. Her name is Kinder. Elsewhere, (transcript and video unclear, sounds like &#8220;another man&#8221;) has effectively turned his home into a cage just to keep his family safe. Metal fencing surrounds it. Bars cover the windows. Nearby, someone spray painted two words in Hebrew, &#8216;death to Arabs.&#8217;</span></p><p><span>Five months earlier, Auda says a settler shot dead his nephew and wounded his brother in front of him. He complained to the Israeli police. The attacks continued. Last week, settlers came to his house again. This is in August 2026. This is not an aberration. It is a window, a window into what is being unleashed across the occupied West Bank. Homes attacked, cars torched, farmers beaten, people shot, sheep stolen, water seized, olive trees uprooted and burned, families driven from communities where they have lived for generations. And the pattern repeats.</span></p><p><span>A settler outpost appears. Suddenly, land Palestinians have grazed for decades is inaccessible. Roads are blocked, shepherds are harassed, homes are raided, violence becomes routine and the army that occupies the territory doesn&#8217;t protect the Palestinians living there. No, in countless documented cases, </span><strong><span>soldiers accompany and assist their attackers. </span></strong><span>Human Rights Watch warned in July that </span><strong><span>escalating settler violence threatened mass atrocities.</span></strong><span> Amnesty International has described the forceable displacement of Palestinian communities in the West Bank as Ethnic Cleansing (an obvious war crime/crime against humanity). Israeli human rights organization, Betelum, puts it more simply, settler violence equals state violence.</span></p><p><span>Consider what happened during the last olive harvest. In just 2 months, the UN documented 178 settler attacks connected to the harvest across 88 Palestinian communities. </span><strong><span>More than 6000 trees and samplings were destroyed, most of them olive trees, some, centuries old</span></strong><span>. In many, Palestinian families were given just 3 days by the Israeli military, to reach olive groves on their own land. Three days to harvest their own olives. On the first day, settlers attacked them. The families were forced from the groves. They were too afraid to return. The harvest was abandoned. Think about the cruelty contained in that. A farmer can see his trees. He has tended them through the year. He has watched them flower, watched the fruit ripen. Those trees are his livelihood. They are his family&#8217;s inheritance. The land is his. The trees are his. The olives are ripe and he can&#8217;t reach them. Destroy the tree and you destroy his livelihood. Prevent him from harvesting it and you sever his relationship with the land. Make that danger permanent and farming becomes impossible. When farming becomes impossible, remaining becomes impossible. And</span><strong><span> it doesn&#8217;t stop at pillaging Palestinian land. No, they also attack the water.</span></strong></p><p><span>In Fasail, in the Jordan Valley, farmer Said Limmer watched settlers take control of a freshwater spring that Palestinian farmers had long depended upon. The water was diverted. Part of it now fills a pool at a settler&#8217;s tourist site. Think about that image. A Palestinian farmer watches his fields thirst while water from the spring that sustained his village through generations, now fills a recreational pool. Land, water, roads, grazing grounds, crops, these are the foundations of human existence. And those carrying out this violence don&#8217;t operate in a political vacuum. Israel&#8217;s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has dramatically expanded civilian armaments. His ministry announced the purchase of 10,000 assault rifles for civilian security teams (i.e., Israeli terrorists), including teams in West Bank settlements. The licensing requirements were loosened. Settlement emergency (killing) squads are armed and trained with military weapons. Settler only reserve units now operate within the Israeli military structure. So, on the ground, the line between soldier and armed settler becomes frighteningly blurred. For the Palestinian facing the gun, the distinction is almost meaningless.</span></p><p><span>Meanwhile, Israel&#8217;s finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, himself a settler (</span><strong><span>land stealer aka thief</span></strong><span>) has publicly advocated Israeli sovereignty (theft of) over 82% of the West Bank. The Israeli government has approved over 104 new settlement outposts (</span><strong><span>occupation bases</span></strong><span>). The machinery of annexation (</span><strong><span>land-stealing</span></strong><span>) is advancing. And this brings us to the question the West Bank forces us to confront.</span></p><p><strong><span>For nearly 3 years, Israel and its western allies have framed extraordinary violence against Palestinians through the prism of October 7.</span></strong><span> Hamas hostages, security, self-defense. Again and again, </span><strong><span>Gaza&#8217;s genocide has been explained to the world as a response to Hamas.</span></strong><span> But look away from Gaza for a moment. Look east. </span><strong><span>Look at the occupied West Bank. Hamas doesn&#8217;t govern there</span></strong><span>. The Palestinian Authority does. It has maintained security coordination with Israel for decades. And </span><strong><span>yet, Palestinian land is still taken. Palestinian homes are still attacked. </span></strong><span>Palestinian farmers are still driven from their fields. Their olive trees are still burned. Water is still seized. Shepherding communities are still driven away. </span><strong><span>Palestinians are still shot</span></strong><span>. Children are still trapped inside their homes while armed men gather outside, and </span><strong><span>their land is still being steadily carved up by settlements and outposts.</span></strong></p><p><span>(Ergo: The genocide and land-stealing blamed on Hamas&#8217;s October 7 attack is used as an excuse to kill all remaining Palestinians and steal their land. Who benefitted [</span>Qui bono] <span>most from October 7? &#8212;&gt;</span><strong><span>Israel</span></strong><span>). </span></p><p><span>So, t</span><strong><span>he West Bank poses a devastating question to anyone who insists that what is being done to Palestinians can simply be explained as a war against Hamas.</span></strong><span> So, tell me, what Hamas fighter is hiding inside an olive tree? What security threat is posed by a shepherd and his flock? What act of terrorism is committed by a farmer trying to harvest his own olives? And what did four-year-old Kinder Hassan do to warrant being trapped inside her home while armed men gathered outside? The justifications change with the times. Once it was the PLO, today it is Hamas. But strip away the change in pretexts and the underlying reality becomes hard to conceal:</span><strong><span> the dispossession and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land. </span></strong><span>It has unfolded for decades (79 years) and </span><strong><span>is accelerating, </span></strong><span>emboldened by impunity, international inaction, and the political and military backing of Israel&#8217;s western allies.</span></p><p><span>One phrase has always dominated western discussion of Palestine, [Israel&#8217;s right to exist]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a><span>, Israel&#8217;s right to security, Israel&#8217;s right to defend itself. These rights are invoked so routinely that they become axiomatic of western political language. But what of the Palestinians? </span><strong><span>Do Palestinians have a right to exist?</span></strong><span> Not merely to survive, not merely to be permitted to remain alive at best but to exist as a people on their own land with the [ordinary rights]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a><span> that make human life possible?</span><strong><span> Do Palestinians have a right to security</span></strong><span>, a right to drink from their own springs, to harvest their own trees, to walk their own roads, to tend their own fields, to raise their own children without teaching them to fear footsteps approaching the house? Do Palestinians have a right to defend their homes, their families, their farms, and their lives? The West asks Palestinians to disarm but </span><strong><span>who will disarm the settlers storming their villages? </span></strong><span>It asks Palestinians to recognize Israel. Who will recognize the Palestinian farmer&#8217;s right to remain on his own land? It demands that Palestinians prove endlessly that they accept another people&#8217;s right to exist. </span><strong><span>Who will affirm Palestinians right to exist?</span></strong><span>&#8221;</span></p><div><hr></div><p><span>For more video evidence of Israeli war crimes/crimes against humanity, see: <br></span><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2kBd1fShF8"><span>Israeli settlers kill Palestinian teen in the occupied West Bank &#8226; FRANCE 24 English</span></a><span>, </span></strong></p><p><span>and,</span><br><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WLfIyw8NtQ"><span>Palestinian Christians Reveal the Brutal Reality of the Israeli Occupation</span></a><span>,</span></strong></p><p><em><strong><span>&#8220;&#8230;</span></strong>We examine the tangible evidence of this conflict, including the gas canisters and rubber-coated bullets collected directly from the streets.

Any other nation that employed such a debased policy would have been dealt with decades ago. Why then, hasn&#8217;t Israel been stopped during the past 79 years? At the level of nation states, nothing is an accident, so there must be a reason.</span></p><p><strong><span>What of growing anti-Israeli political developments in the US?</span></strong></p><p><span>Recently, various alternative social media commentators have opined about growing anti-Israeli sentiment in the US and the possibility that many (mostly Democrats) anti-Israel politicians will be elected in November. The idea is that this might result in an end to economic support of and political cover for Israel. Seventy-nine years of such financial, military and political assistance to Israel has never wavered. It is my contention that no matter who is in the White House or Congress, the pro-Zionist policy will not change. Even if everyone in the US under age 60 opposed Israel and the Iran War, it would not stop because Zionist Israel and [global (Talmudic) Zionism]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a><span> controls</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a><span> the US.

That&#8217;s how far from reality the propaganda has strayed and could not have happened without a powerful global control mechanism in place to prevent any potential attempts to rectify it. That mechanism is Global Talmudic Zionism (GTZ), a cancer, the most visible beachhead of which is Israel, now in the process of metastatic invasion/takeover of Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, Syria and beyond (Greater Israel Project). To complete the metaphor, the United States has already been conquered by GTZ which successfully seeded it with metastatic tumor foci, long ago. Those cancerous foci have grown enormously, first displacing and now replacing the original tissue/architecture of what was once America. </span></p><p><span>What appears to be the United States is a Satanic</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-19" href="#footnote-19" target="_self">19</a><span> Zionist fa&#231;ade which should be known as the </span><strong><span>United States of West Israel.</span></strong><span> As long as the Israeli regime exists, no nation in the Middle East is safe, especially Iran, since Israel refuses to abandon its genocidal/land stealing program, aka the Satanically inspired, Greater Israel Project.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-20" href="#footnote-20" target="_self">20</a><span> The reason:</span><strong><span> </span></strong><em><strong><span>Iran is the only country</span></strong></em><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-21" href="#footnote-21" target="_self">21</a><em><strong><span> that has consistently/openly objected to Israeli aggression.</span></strong></em></p><p><strong><span>The Role of &#8220;Excusable&#8221; Ignorance:</span></strong></p><p><span>What has always amazed me is that the vast majority of Americans are totally ignorant of anything that transpires outside of their immediate surroundings, not just in their own country but throughout the world.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-22" href="#footnote-22" target="_self">22</a><span> Generations of Americans are unaware of world history, geo-politics and geography because of intentional &#8220;dumbing down&#8221; of the education system which, long ago, was replaced by a (GTZ) propaganda machine.

That process took many decades but was essentially complete by the early 1990&#8217;s and activated by 2001.</span></p><p><strong><span>Final Thoughts:</span></strong></p><p><span>Why then is the world afraid to stop Israeli genocidal aggression?

In a very important interview:</span></p><p><em><strong><span>&#8220;&#8230;International lawyer Craig Mokhiber, examines the political nature of the escalating attack on the International Criminal Court &#8211; and on prospects for accountability for Israel&#8217;s genocide. We also talk about his latest article challenging the constant demand that Palestinians and their supporters affirm Israel&#8217;s &#8216;right to exist.&#8217;&#8221;, </span></strong></em><span>from, </span><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU-8w32rTgU&amp;t=1805s"><span>Why Israel has no right to exist, with Craig Mokhiber</span></a><span>,</span></strong><span> which is highly recommended.</span></p><p><strong>The Origin of Human Rights:</strong></p><p>Is is useful to understand that all human rights are based in the nature of what it means to be human, that is, human nature<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a>, which is why animals do not enjoy the same rights as human beings. For example, while individual human beings have a right to life, once conceived, nations do not. </p><p><strong>No Nation has a &#8220;Right&#8221; to exist:</strong></p><p>Technically speaking, &#8220;no nation has the right to exist as a matter of law or fact&#8221;, says Craig Mokhiber. Proof of this is that they come into and go out of existence for a variety of reasons. Consider that nations represent artificial agglomerations of people confined by borders/boundaries that are not even fixed over time, let alone space, in many instances. In a very real sense, a nations&#8217; existence is a privilege that comes with duties and responsibilities. Nations must behave according to appropriate moral and legal principles as a peaceful member of the community of nations. For example, unjust, offensive aggression against a lawfully sovereign nation state is always morally/legally wrong and prohibited because it is composed of human beings, all of whom enjoy the same human rights. From an international legal perspective, the people of lawfully constituted nations have a right to sovereignty, polity and self-determination. </p><p><strong>Israel&#8217;s &#8220;Right to Exist&#8221; is Used as a Hammer:</strong></p><p>Mokhiber alleges that Israel has no moral or legal &#8220;right to exist&#8221; because of the way in which it was created (theft of the land of others and the institution of an Apartheid state).  According to him, the claim is a self-serving fiction that Israel and its supporters use to intimidate people into submission and to silence their justifiable criticisms of Israeli genocidal land-stealing over the course of its existence.</p><p><strong>Does violation of International Law Nullify National Sovereignty?</strong></p><p>Many countries violate international law at one time or another. Doing so, Mokhiber argues, does not erase their sovereignty unless those violations were integral to the founding of the state or nation (such as genocide, denial of self-determination, forced expulsion/displacement etc.).<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> All of these are immoral/illegal and any nation that commits them, is illegitimate and should not be recognized as a lawful entity. Mokhiber purports that since Israel was founded (and been sustained ever since), by unlawful means, no countries should have recognized it as a proper legal entity. He says that the UN establishment of the Jewish state was illegal under international law.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> It was also immoral under traditional moral principles.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a></p><p><strong>Establishing/Maintaining an Ethnosupremacist State is Illegal:</strong></p><p>An additional issue, according to Mokhiber, is that under international law, no nation has the right to maintain itself as an ethnosupremacist state that excludes or otherwise discriminates against  (aka a punishing apartheid state) members of it. The idea that Israel is a &#8220;Jewish state&#8221; or provides a &#8220;Jewish [homeland&#8221; for a chosen]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a>/special class of people at the expense of others, is contrary to international law, international humanitarian law, traditional moral principles and should be repudiated/condemned.</p><p><strong>The role of Deception/Paranoia:</strong></p><p>Israel and its Zionist friends throughout the world, inherently know that it has no moral or legal right to exist and are paranoid about it being disclosed and widely accepted. That, more than anything else is the reason why, in an act of grand deception, Zionist forces impose a purity or litmus test on humanity by demanding that everyone declare that Israel (and no other nation) has the &#8220;right&#8221; to exist. This is a duplicitous attempt to create a false reality and should be seen as such by all people of good will.</p><p><strong>The Faulty Theological Argument for &#8220;Promised Land&#8221;/&#8221;Chosen People&#8221;</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a>:</p><p>This point was not discussed in the video but is critical to understand since many Zionists appeal to it in arguing that Israel has a &#8220;right to exist.&#8221; The <em>Land Grand</em> and <em>Chosen People</em> status given by God to the ancient Israelites was conditional (based upon obedience to their covenant obligations which included the acceptance of their prophesied and long-awaited, Jewish Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth who they rejected and had crucified). As a result, they lost all claims to both. I have written about this in detail in the past:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<strong>A Central Zionist Claim:</strong></p><p><span>Zionists allege that the ancient Israelites never lost their &#8220;chosen people&#8221; status or the land granted to Abraham by God. The claim that the </span><em>Land Grant</em><span> was permanent or without qualification is incorrect, since it is the result of selecting only those OT passages which do not mention the importance of obeying all God&#8217;s commands, included in the Abrahamic covenant and later incorporated in the Sinai (Mosaic) covenant between God and Moses (on behalf of the Israelites). God never said the Israelites would forever possess the land no matter what they did or failed to do as if they had no responsibility to perform their duties under the covenant and obey God&#8217;s commands. If all the relevant passages are included, the very opposite is the case.</span></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><em><strong>Land Grant</strong></em><strong> and </strong><em><strong>Chosen People</strong></em><strong> Status Contingent upon Covenant Obedience:</strong></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><span>To put an even finer point on it, the </span><em>Chosen People</em><span> status and </span><em>Land Grant</em><span>, were contingent upon the ancient Israelites meeting their responsibilities under the Old (Abrahamic and Mosaic) covenants, that is, [obeying all of God&#8217;s commands] (idolatry [not worshipping false gods] being the most important). They repeatedly failed to do so and therefore, lost both. The final indictment was to the Pharisees, delivered verbally by Jesus Christ (</span><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021%3A33-45&amp;version=RSVCE">Matthew 21:33-45</a></strong><span>, especially 43-45), prior to His crucifixion. The Old covenant ends after [Christ is condemned to death and dies on the Cross], which results in the tearing of the temple veil (</span><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2027%3A51&amp;version=RSVCE">Matthew 27:51</a></strong><span>) From there it passes to the Church, instituted by Christ. The last instructions Christ gave before ascending into heaven were precise. Here is the quintessential passage in which this is made clear.</span></p><ul><li><p><span>&#8220;</span><strong><sup>18 </sup></strong><span>And Jesus came and said to them, &#8220;</span><strong>All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me</strong><span>. </span><strong><sup>19 </sup></strong><span>Go therefore and </span><strong>make disciples of all nations</strong><span>, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, </span><strong><sup>20 </sup><span>teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you</span></strong><span>; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.&#8221;, (</span><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2028%3A18-20&amp;version=RSVCE">Matthew 28:18-20</a></strong><span>).</span></p></li></ul><p>The church that Christ instituted has replaced the Old Covenant and the chosen people are now members of Christ&#8217;s body/the body of Christ.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a> </p></blockquote><p>Another problem with the &#8220;Chosen People&#8221; claim is that the Jews, largely from Europe, who settled Palestine after 1948 are not Semites. They lack biological/genetic lineage to ancient Israelites to whom the promises were made. Even had these two disqualifications not existed, the creation of a Jewish state on stolen land would have been invalid. </p><p><strong>Greater Israel Project is Alive/Well and Progressing:</strong></p><p>As if the way in which Israel was brought into existence was not bad enough, there is the 79 year history of Genocidal land-stealing known as the Greater Israel Project that is still ongoing:</p><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The entire world stood aside while Zionist Israel appropriated Palestine into Israel and stole a country from its people.<span> </span>As if this wasn&#8217;t enough, the entire world stood aside while Israel finished off Palestine with the Gazan Genocide.<span> </span>In the Western World those who protested the Genocide were expelled from university, fired from their jobs, and in England were imprisoned.<span> </span>To accuse Israel of genocide became a hate crime even as the genocide in full view proceeded.</em></p><p><em>Now Israel has begun the absorption of Lebanon and Syria into Greater Israel.<span> </span>The Israeli violence in the Middle East will continue.<span> </span>The cross hairs are still on Iran and Saudi Arabia and Turkey. As Israeli government ministers have proclaimed Greater Israel is from the Nile to Pakistan.&#8221; </em></p><p><em>Below is the original Zionist map of Greater Israel. In the last couple of years Israeli government ministers have held up maps showing an expanded version&#8211;&#8217;from the Nile to Pakistan.&#8217;&#8221;</em></p><div

Iran would still face an existential crisis if the Israeli regime were allowed to persist with its military/weapons/bases intact and its political/economic support from the United States maintained. There is zero evidence that the latter can or will be changed by political means in the US. Iran should try to eliminate the possibility of any future attacks from Israel.

If the US and Israel were to engage in a massive attack on Iran, they would be risking the total destruction of the Israeli and Persian Gulf regimes and a global energy/economic collapse, the probability of a widening war with potential nuclear implications, possibly including nuclear conflagration. In the natural realm alone, this is inexplicable. In the supernatural, it is not only understandable but predictable.

Many readers will no doubt be psychologically unable to deal with the implications<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> of the upcoming International Noahide Congress to be held in Jerusalem this fall. Some will cancel their subscriptions to this site or refuse to read the piece completely, either of which would be unfortunate. What is contained herein is of vital importance to every person on earth.</p><p>Since my first article on the Noahide Laws (reproduced below with some minor alterations) was published, several videos have appeared that warn about the coming &#8220;First International Congress of Noahides&#8221; that is to meet in Jerusalem in November 2026. Not everything said in these videos is completely accurate/true but the warnings<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> they provide are sound. One is:</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dPgCGVMduE">The ONE World &#8220;Noahide&#8221; Religion Forming in Jerusalem</a>. </strong></p><p>The man who produced this video appears to be speaking from an evangelical Protestant perspective.as is the case, I presume, for the individual in the second video below. The first one (above) includes a short snippet recording by a pro-Noahide organization, designed to make the Noahide laws sound very benign, unifying, if not inviting. <strong>One of the most dangerous lies perpetrated by the group is that the Noahide Laws come from the Torah</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a> <strong>which is not</strong> <strong>the case at all.</strong></p><p>Another, among several more, is the following video: </p><p><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RrrKJmVR18">THE NOAHIDE LAWS IS HERE! THEY ARE FORMALIZING A NEW GLOBAL RELIGION!</a> </strong><em><strong>&#8220;</strong><span>This November, the Brit Olam Noahide World Center will host the first congress of Noahides in the eternal capital, bringing together delegates from six continents to formally establish the world Noahide movement complete with the founding charter, a rabbinic court, regional councils and the financial i</span>nfrastructure designed to sustain a global religious civilization.&#8221; </em></p><p>In this video it mistakenly says that Noahide laws are mentioned in the New Testament book of Acts,<strong> </strong>which is false. Here is the passage referred to:</p><p><em><strong>&#8220;<span>Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, </span><sup><span>20 </span></sup><span>but should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols and from unchastity and from what is strangled and from blood.&#8221;</span></strong></em><span>, (</span><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2015%3A19-20&amp;version=RSVCE">Acts 15:19-20</a></strong>).<strong> </strong>This teaching is part of the Gospel of Christ and includes the prohibition against idolatry and blasphemy (first and second commandments; thou shalt have no false gods before me/thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain) and the sixth commandment which prohibits adultery (and in combination with the first commandment) which by inference, includes other sins/perversions such as child sexual absue, bestiality, animal/human sacrifice and sadistic/unnatural practices, all of which had been anathematized in the Old Testament scriptures, (long before the birth of Christ).</p><p><strong>The Ten Commandments should be Obeyed, (not the Noahide &#8220;Laws&#8221;):</strong></p><p>Jesus specifically referred, on multiple occasions, to the necessity of [obeying all the Ten Commandments]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a>, whereas, the Noahide laws were never mentioned in either the Old or New Testaments. They are later inventions of rabbis who reject the incarnation/divinity of Jesus Christ (they specifically deny that Jesus (the Christ/Messiah) of Nazareth is God in the flesh). </p><p>The Noahide laws are a post-Apostolic/predominately Middle Age elucidation of Maimonides and other rabbi&#8217;s who are responsible for creating the Talmud. The only reference to Noah, that might be confused with Noahide Laws is this, <em>&#8220;as in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of man.&#8221;</em>, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024%3A37&amp;version=RSVCE">Matthew 24:37</a></strong>). The obvious meaning is that humanity will be very evil (as it was before the Great Flood) prior to the second coming of Christ, the time when the antichrist<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a> reigns.</p><p>In my first post on the Noahide laws, I indicated that God did not give any laws or commandments to Noah, (see the text of Genesis 9 below). God gave the Ten Commandments to Moses and later ratified by Christ, which supersede any and all man-made laws such as the Noahide laws, invented by Rabbis, all of whom reject Christ as their long-expected/awaited Divine Messiah. They mistakenly still await him (their false messiah is the &#8220;man of sin&#8221;, the &#8220;son of perdition&#8221;, the antichrist). </p><p>Other than the false reference to Noahide laws being mentioned in the book of Acts, there is useful information in the second video above.</p><p>A great deal of material is contained in these videos that all people, especially Christians, should be aware of. Needless to say, none of it is good. <strong>The global architecture is being put in place that will allow for the [murdering of Christians]</strong><a class="footnote-anchor"

data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a> throughout the world is the increasing attempt by many nations, including the United States, to place their populations under so-called Noahide laws.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a> Should they ever take effect, many <strong>Christians will be decapitated/martyred</strong> for professing faith in and worshipping Jesus Christ as God/Savior. It is very possible that those of other faiths might be as well.</p><p>Noahide laws are based on the false Pharisee/Talmud<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a> generated premise/heresy that Jesus of Nazareth is not God in the flesh, the prophesied/long-awaited Jewish Savior, extensively referred to throughout the Old Testament scriptures, who fulfilled every Messianic prophecy in His person. The false messiah that is anticipated and will be accepted<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a> by Talmudic Jews, is the Antichrist.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a> As such, the authentic Messiah, Jesus Christ must be/is profaned/attacked<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14" href="#footnote-14" target="_self">14</a>, as are His followers (the body of Christ).<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-15" href="#footnote-15" target="_self">15</a></p><p>A major impediment to people understanding the nature of what is involved with Noahide laws relates to the fact that the topic, like that of Zionism<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-16" href="#footnote-16" target="_self">16</a> requires more than a rudimentary grasp of multiple academic disciplines and the ability to integrate the material found in each. Rather than the kind of &#8220;stove-piping&#8221; that is common in covert intelligence work, what is required is the ability to synthesize disparate kinds of information from varying sources (e.g., history, law, moral philosophy, theology, scriptural exegesis,  comparative religion etc.). This is another way of saying we shouldn&#8217;t get caught up in the minutia of one, limited subject area only. </p><p>The <strong>Noahide laws</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-17" href="#footnote-17" target="_self">17</a> (see <strong>Genesis 9</strong> for the probable reference/origin of the name)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-18" href="#footnote-18" target="_self">18</a> are not found in the sacred scriptures as such but represent <strong>[rabbinical inventions]</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-19" href="#footnote-19" target="_self">19</a> only. The first five, numbered below are: </p><p><strong>1) Do not deny God </strong>(poorly defined as stated unlike the first and second commandments of the Decalogue).</p><p><strong>2) Do not blaspheme </strong>(under the Noahide rubric, the one supreme being/Triune God of Christianity is not God, Jesus is not God in the flesh and is not the prophesied Jewish messiah/Savior of the world). Those who worship the Triune God (Christians) may be decapitated for doing so, if these &#8220;laws&#8221; are enforced.</p><p><strong>3) Do not murder (</strong>for over 80 years Zionists have been murdering people throughout Palestine, parts of Syria, and Lebanon and inducing the US to attack Iraq and most recently, Iran, on its behalf, which resulted in millions of deaths). This is the result of Talmudic Zionism being their fundamental underlying worldview. Noahide laws represent the final/universal expression of it. </p><p><strong>4) Do not engage in sexual immorality</strong> (poorly defined as stated, unlike the sixth commandment of the Decalogue). Israeli (Talmud-based) Zionists have engaged in the ghastly sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners, including raping them with dogs.</p><p><strong>5) Do not steal</strong> (think about how absurd it is that for over 80 years Zionists have been stealing the land of other people [virtually all of Palestine, parts of Syria, and Lebanon) while allegedly following the Noahide laws which are based on the rabbinically created Talmud). </p><p>It is critical to appreciate that the Noahide laws do not appear in Genesis 9<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-20" href="#footnote-20" target="_self">20</a>, but they do represent a very abbreviated/incomplete summary of passages as found in the Decalogue<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-21" href="#footnote-21" target="_self">21</a> (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2020&amp;version=RSVCE">Exodus 20</a></strong>) which came later in salvation history as do the more complete set of instructions/commands found in Leviticus.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-22" href="#footnote-22" target="_self">22</a> Note that <strong>the Noahide laws contain no prohibition against lying</strong> (a red flag which strongly suggests they are of Satanic origin [Satan is the father of lies<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-23" href="#footnote-23" target="_self">23</a> according to Jesus Christ who is Truth<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-24" href="#footnote-24" target="_self">24</a> itself]) or covetousness/envy and no obligation to honor the Lord&#8217;s Day or one&#8217;s parents). Rather than obey all the 10 commandments and the commands/instructions found in Leviticus, the Talmudic rabbi&#8217;s appear to have discarded some, kept others and invented a few more in assembling their list of Noahide laws. The worst feature perhaps is that<strong> they reserve capital punishment for anything they decide is idolatry</strong>, the decision for which is incontestable/final.</p><p>Talmudic rabbis have rejected the much more detailed Decalogue, (given to man by God) for one of their own design and for their own purposes. This is extremely deceptive and intentionally so. The last two Noahide laws; <strong>do not eat the flesh of a live animal</strong> (ambiguous as stated) and <strong>establish courts of justice</strong>, are not contained in the decalogue or the Gospel of Christ at all (the word &#8220;justice&#8221; in this context is extremely deceitful since decapitation for what is falsely labeled idolatry, is the epitome of injustice). It is apparent, even from this cursory outline that the Noahide laws are an incoherent/incomplete/internally inconsistent hodge-podge of self-serving dictates. </p><p><strong>What do Noahide laws (actually) represent?</strong></p><p>Noahide laws, at best, (the <strong>ostensible reason</strong>), can be said to circumvent/replace the much more complete moral code found in the Mosaic covenant and the Gospel of Christ, with what is clearly a more primitive and incomplete one from an earlier time in salvation history. That alone should be enough for any Christian to reject them. Worse, <strong>it is inconceivable for Christians to abide by a moral code created by the theological descendants of the Pharisees who were responsible for crucifying Christ</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-25" href="#footnote-25" target="_self">25</a> and to accept anti-Gospel/anti-New Testament notions of morality/behavior.  It is crucial to understand that Rabbinic commentary (see Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 56A-60A, specifically 57A)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-26" href="#footnote-26" target="_self">26</a> on these &#8220;laws&#8221; is incompatible with the context of Genesis 9, the Decalogue (Ten Commandments) and the Gospel of Christ.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-27" href="#footnote-27" target="_self">27</a></p><p>At worst, <strong>(the real reason)  Noahide laws serve to persecute/kill </strong>those who are not (Talmudic) Jews, especially<strong> Christians. </strong>That being the case, they should be understood to be part of the [spirit of antichrist]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-28" href="#footnote-28" target="_self">28</a> and the Beast system of <strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013&amp;version=RSVCE">Revelation 13</a></strong>. In other words, <strong>Noahide laws</strong> and Noahideism when promulgated today, are of antichrist<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-29" href="#footnote-29" target="_self">29</a>/<strong>Satanic origin</strong>, and a direct attempt to dethrone Christ the King whose incarnation and propitiatory death on the Cross for the sins of the world was the defining event in history.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-30" href="#footnote-30" target="_self">30</a></p><p><strong>Noahide Laws attempt to Nullify the Final Covenant in the Blood of Christ:</strong></p><p>All prior covenants e.g., Abrahamic, Mosaic, ended with the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary when the temple veil was torn in two, from top to bottom.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-31" href="#footnote-31" target="_self">31</a> The singular covenant remaining is the New and everlasting one in His (Jesus&#8217;) blood. That new covenant replaces all others while incorporating the moral code found in the Decalogue (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2020&amp;version=RSVCE">Exodus 20</a></strong>) and the commands of Christ as articulated in the Sermon on the Mount (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205-7&amp;version=RSVCE">Matthew 5-7</a></strong>) and elsewhere in the NT Gospel. It is the only covenant that should be obeyed by human beings since its author is God in the flesh, who alone has the right to make and enforce it, (proof of which is that no other person in human history but Jesus Christ has ever died, been buried and risen from the dead in the same albeit glorified physical body).<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-32" href="#footnote-32" target="_self">32</a> These are conclusions that, by logical necessity, flow from the factual content/evidence contained in the Gospel/life of Christ. The only recourse for objectors/critics is to prove the truth/fact claims are false. </p><p><strong>Idolatry and the Talmud:</strong></p><p>Ironically, it is the modern-day Babylonian Talmud professing (re: Sanhedrin 56-60) Rabbi&#8217;s and their followers who are guilty of idolatry. Jesus of Nazareth made very specific truth claims. He stated clearly that He and the Father (God) are one<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-33" href="#footnote-33" target="_self">33</a> and that He is the Messiah (Savior, God in the flesh) who was prophesied and expected. Christ proved His divinity in multiple ways but especially by dying a physical death and returning to life again on the third day. He was seen by hundreds of followers on numerous occasions thereafter and proven to have a physical body (not a ghostly, apparent one). Accordingly, those who deny the incarnation/divinity of Christ are guilty of idolatry, not those who believe and profess it. One wonders if those who desire to be ruled by Noahide laws and as such are idolators due to their rejection of [Jesus, Christ the King]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-34" href="#footnote-34" target="_self">34</a>, would be willing to undergo decapitation? Ironically, their own teachings demand it.</p><p><strong>Who is God?</strong></p><p>What is really involved in the Noahide law question and how such laws might be applied, is a matter of determining who the one, supreme being (God) is, since that determines what is considered false worship/idolatry and the punishment of beheading for transgressing it.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-35" href="#footnote-35" target="_self">35</a> If it is the Trinitarian God of Christianity, that is, one [Supreme Being (God)]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-36" href="#footnote-36" target="_self">36</a> in [three Divine Persons]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-37" href="#footnote-37" target="_self">37</a>, then any religion that rejects it is false and its adherents are guilty of violating the first commandment of the Decalogue (idolatry). That includes modern (Talmudic) Judaism. The key difference between the Talmudic Noahide laws and Christianity is that Christianity does not advocate punishing people for refusing to confess Jesus is God/Messiah/Savior or worship of Him. It uses [education and persuasion]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-38" href="#footnote-38" target="_self">38</a>, hoping that each person will see the truth and voluntarily convert (without coercion). <strong>The Noahide laws punish people with death for refusing to worship their false god (Lucifer/Satan)</strong> of Talmudic origin. In unguarded moments, some Talmudists have admitted the (true) identity of the god (Lucifer) they worship. Others, who serve as useful idiots, apparently remain unaware.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-39" href="#footnote-39" target="_self">39</a></p><p><strong>The Unique Truth-Claims of Jesus Christ:</strong></p><p>Prior to the mid-twentieth century, it was understood by most professing Christians that the Gospel of Christ contains multiple truth claims, statements of fact such as, Jesus is God in the flesh, the second member of the Blessed Trinity, aka God the Son, the Jewish Messiah/Savior. These are assertions/dogmas that are either true or false. Each person of good will must evaluate them fully and behave accordingly. </p><p>In addition to the most well-developed moral code in history, the Gospel of Christ contains dogmatic formulations that must be believed by all who profess to be His followers. They are not open to debate, disbelief or rejection (recall the wisdom of the Vincentian Canon [what was always and everywhere believed]). This is another way of saying, Christianity is not a smorgasbord of offerings that may be selectively sampled. It is an all or none proposition because its author is Truth itself. </p><p><strong>Covertly &#8220;Clearing the way&#8221; for Noahide Laws:</strong></p><p>Despite acting largely covertly, Talmudic rabbis&#8217;, their acolytes in addition to atheists and agnostics were instrumental in having the Ten Commandments removed from public places, including schools and government buildings in the US. The alleged excuse/<strong>ostensible reason</strong> was to prevent mandatory posting of the Decalogue, justified by arguing that it violated the First Amendment&#8217;s establishment clause. The Supreme Court assisted this movement in its 1980, <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_v._Graham">Stone v.: Graham</a> </strong>ruling. One cannot help but think the <strong>real reason</strong> or one of them was to disguise the fact that once routine posting of the Ten Commandments was eliminated, the Satanically inspired Noahide laws could more easily be introduced and eventually codified into law by other means. It should be noted that the mandatory posting of Noahide laws is just as illegal/unconstitutional as mandatory display of the Ten Commandments, (applying the reasoning utilized in Stone v.: Graham). Yet, no constitutional opposition has been forthcoming as successive US administrations have been [surreptitiously normalizing Noahide laws]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-40" href="#footnote-40" target="_self">40</a> while the Ten Commandments continue to be deprecated. This, in retrospect, is intentional and despicable. Americans and those in other nations must recognize that any movement to bring about <strong>capital punishment for violations of Noahide laws is a brazen attempt to establish a punishing Talmud-based theocracy by stealth</strong>. </p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p><p>No believing/practicing/true Christian should have anything to do with <strong>Noahide laws </strong>which <strong>are anti-Christian/Satanic to the core.</strong> Their true origin/dangerous nature should be widely promulgated. All are encouraged to help spread the word. No one should risk their eternal salvation for lack of knowledge. <strong>Our goal should be to help save as many lives and souls as possible.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Closing Thoughts:</strong></p><p><span>Some might ask, why do I write about these things, why convey such depressing news/information? I suppose there are several reasons. First, prophetic scripture and Christian tradition exist so that people undergoing tribulation prior to the return of Christ will not be deceived and will not lose their salvation by worshipping the beast (antichrist) and taking his brand/mark. To warn is an act of love [Christ said &#8220;love your neighbor as yourself&#8221;]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-41" href="#footnote-41" target="_self">41</a> <span>and doing so is an act of compassion in action. </span></p><p><span>Second, Christ said, &#8220;love your enemies.&#8221;</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-42" href="#footnote-42" target="_self">42</a><span>  Hell is so awful (eternal [unending] punishment), no one should go there, not even our enemies. Hopefully, articles like this might reach some in need of repentance/conversion. </span></p><p><span>Third, if I really believe what I write, I have a duty to warn my brothers and sister/neighbors, no matter the cost</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-43" href="#footnote-43" target="_self">43</a><span>;</span><strong><sup><span> </span></sup></strong><span>&#8220;So </span><strong><span>you, son of man, I have made a watchman</span></strong><span> for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. </span><strong><span>If</span></strong><span> I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall surely die, and </span><strong><span>you do not speak to warn the wicked to turn from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.&#8221;</span></strong><span>, (</span><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2033%3A7-8&amp;version=RSVCE"><span>Ezekiel 33:7-8</span></a></strong><span>).</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-44" href="#footnote-44" target="_self">44</a> Hence, I say again, what I have freely received, I freely give.</p><div><hr></div><p><strong><span>Addendum:</span></strong></p><p><span>I was asked a question by a reader which (paraphrasing) was; what about people who are not firm believers in Christ, where do they fit in this scenario? At some point in the not-too-distant future</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-45" href="#footnote-45" target="_self">45</a><span> many people with be presented with a choice; accept the &#8220;mark of the beast&#8221; or be murdered. In other words, there are only two options,</span><strong><span> 1) refuse the mark</span></strong><span> and worship of the antichrist, lose your life but </span><strong><span>save your soul</span></strong><span> from eternal damnation (Hell) or </span><strong><span>2) accept the mark</span></strong><span> and worship the antichrist, (i.e., save your life temporarily), but </span><strong><span>lose your soul</span></strong><span>. When the time comes, you can choose to save either your life or your soul, but not both. This answer may not be very satisfying but consider the following:</span></p><p><span>We all die physically but our souls will exist forever (anything non-physical is indestructible by physical means, including physical death and the soul is non-physical. Moreover, once created, souls and entirely spiritual beings, cannot be annihilated, the explanation of which is beyond the scope of this essay). Any compromises we make with evil, will not change that (the only question is where our soul will reside in timeless eternity, [Heaven or Hell]). Rationally/logically speaking, there is only one reasonable option&#8212;to reject the Beast/antichrist and his &#8220;mark.&#8221; Nevertheless, some people find the idea of martyrdom too horrendous to contemplate. Others suffer from lack of faith/belief in the historical reality of Jesus of Nazareth</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-46" href="#footnote-46" target="_self">46</a><span> and his clear command, &#8220;he who denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.&#8221;, (</span><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2010%3A33&amp;version=DRA"><span>Matthew 10:33</span></a><span>)</span></strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-47" href="#footnote-47" target="_self">47</a><span>and the other passages/creeds that affirm this teaching.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-48" href="#footnote-48" target="_self">48</a></p><p><span>The wisest thing everyone can do is to repent of their sins and convert to being a committed worshipper/defender/obedient believer of/in Jesus Christ. Repentance involves confessing sins, doing penance and amending one&#8217;s life (turning away from all sin and doing only God&#8217;s Will). Like repentance, conversion is a three-step process which includes, belief (full acceptance of all that Christ has said and done), baptism and obedience to the commands of Christ which are articulated in His Gospel. Baptism can either precede or follow belief. In infants and young children baptism is often done prior to the age of reason. In adults, the reverse order is generally observed. In any case, being a Christian, is an all or none proposition. It is not a smorgasbord of various options from which we may pick and choose.</span></p><p><span>For those who lack the ability to believe in the reality/historicity of Jesus Christ and His Divine authority/commands/actions, pray for the grace to accept them.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-49" href="#footnote-49" target="_self">49</a><span> For those who fear martyrdom, pray for the strength to embrace/endure it.</span></p><div><hr></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-1" href="#footnote-anchor-1" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">1</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>See my: <strong><a href="/__u/akajshannon.substack.com/p/has-the-eschatological-sequence-begun">Has the Eschatological Sequence Begun?</a>, </strong>written two years ago, that discusses the final events which must, according to prophetic scripture, precede the return of Jesus Christ to the earth, which are compared to current events.</p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-2" href="#footnote-anchor-2" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">2</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>Part of the attempt to force Noahide laws on every nation in the world, is the forming of a Rabbinical &#8220;court of justice,&#8221; based in Jerusalem but intended to have jurisdiction over the entire world.

If the Iranians would strike Israel every time the Americans strike Iran, then the source of the war (Israel) the cause of the war would start paying a price. And that then, could lead to some sort of resolution of the conflict.&#8221;</span></p><blockquote><p><span>&#8220;What the Iranians should do is say, &#8216;let&#8217;s strike them and destroy their ability to strike us.&#8217; Why should Iran sit there and accept hits and have its resources and people destroyed?&#8221;</span></p><p><strong><span>&#8220;It&#8217;s not Israeli&#8217;s that are dying&#8230;Once again, the Israeli&#8217;s are the cause of the conflict.&#8221; </span></strong><span>(bold emphasis mine).</span></p></blockquote><p><span>&#8220;The Americans, like the Israeli&#8217;s, attack civilian infrastructure--civilian areas. The Iranians seem to attack (only) American military bases, so here is </span><strong><span>the strategy that the Israeli&#8217;s always use which is to demoralize the opponent by killing the civilians</span></strong><span>, (bold emphasis mine). It&#8217;s not that the American and Israeli&#8217;s are engaged with Iranian forces, they&#8217;re engaged with Iranian civilians&#8230;this kind of game is not one Iran should be playing.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>&#8220;I think it has been made completely clear to the Iranians that Israel will not permit a cease-fire and there will be no cease-fire. There will be no peace talks! So, just like Putin made the blunder of letting the war go on and continue, it&#8217;s now widened so much, it&#8217;s out of Russia&#8217;s control. The war is no longer at the battle front at Donbass, it&#8217;s deep into Russia.&#8221;</span></p><p><strong><span>Roberts then expresses outrage/exasperation that political realism is totally absent:</span></strong></p><p><span>&#8220;How is it that leaders of countries who are under attack, don&#8217;t realize that and act as if something else is happening? Iran (says), we&#8217;re not at war we&#8217;re just responding to illegal American military intervention.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>&#8220;If the government of Iran won&#8217;t acknowledge that it&#8217;s at war, what&#8217;s it going to do, how is it going to exist?&#8221;</span></p><p><strong><span>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand how people can refuse to accept the reality right in front of their eyes, both in Iran and Russia. The leaders refuse to acknowledge reality.&#8221; </span></strong><span>(bold emphasis mine).</span></p><p><span>&#8220;That&#8217;s my analysis of it, Sulaiman. It&#8217;s not optimistic, it&#8217;s not hopeful but it&#8217;s factual.&#8221;</span></p><blockquote><p><span>&#8220;I think the Israeli&#8217;s have captured the United States government. It will take some time for the American people to realize that and to act in ways that make it difficult for the government to remain captured.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>&#8220;I think what the Iranians need to realize is that they are in a war for their existence&#8230;</span><strong><span>As long as the Zionist agenda is Greater Israel, there&#8217;s a target on Iran. The intention is to destroy Iran.&#8221; </span> </strong>(bold emphasis mine).</p><p><strong>Roberts then thinks out loud from the Iranian perspective:</strong></p><p><span>&#8220;Is it possible that we (Iran) could somehow transfer enough troops to seize Dimona? I don&#8217;t think the IDF would have a chance fighting the IRGC.&#8221;</span></p><p><strong><span>Roberts then discusses what is now perhaps his greatest concern for Iran:</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>&#8220;If the (Russian) S-400</span></strong><span> (as has been alleged and reported) </span><strong><span>gets distributed to the Persian Gulf states, there won&#8217;t be any more Iranian missiles hitting American bases.&#8221; &#8220;By waiting, Iran may have disarmed itself.&#8221; </span></strong><span>(bold emphasis mine).</span><em><span> </span></em></p><p><em><span>(Roberts is concerned that Russia will violate the defense agreement it signed with Iran which would prevent it from giving/transferring/supplying the S-400 or S-500 defensive missiles to any of Iran&#8217;s enemies. Should it do so, he believes, Iranian hypersonic missiles would become ineffective which would severely reduce their ability to resist. </span><strong><span>Someone with the requisite hypersonic missile expertise should opine on this key issue</span></strong><span>). The question begging to be asked is: are many world leaders secret Talmudic Zionist sympathizers who despite their public positions as either mildly or vehemently opposed to Israel, actually working on its behalf? An example would be Saudi Arabia. </span></em></p><p><span>&#8220;Trying to avoid the issue is not going to be successful. It&#8217;s not been successful for Russia.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>&#8220;The proper way (to fight a war) is to destroy their ability to damage you.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote><p><strong><span>Roberts then asked himself some key questions that all should carefully consider: </span></strong></p><p><strong><span>&#8220;Are the S-400&#8217;s as effective as their reputation?&#8221; &#8220;Did Putin actually sign the agreement </span></strong><span>(bold emphasis mine) </span><strong><span> (</span></strong><span>to give S-400 missiles to the Persian Gulf States and Israel)</span><strong><span>?&#8221; </span></strong></p><p><span>&#8220;Iran either has to destroy Israel or find a way to surrender.&#8221;</span></p><blockquote><p><span>&#8220;Israel has never paid a price for their aggression.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>&#8220;It&#8217;s easy to understand&#8230;that</span><strong><span> as long as the Zionist agenda is Greater Israel, none of the countries are safe.&#8221; &#8220;Israel declares that the Middle East belongs to Israel. There are to be no other countries.&#8221; </span> </strong>(bold emphasis mine).</p></blockquote><p></p><p><strong>My observations/comments:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Paul Craig Roberts rightly pointed out that Israel has never been forced to explain/justify why it has a right to ethnically cleanse/steal/confiscate all the land and resources in the Middle East? How is it possible that after almost 80 years, this is still being allowed to happen when the Third Reich was dispensed with in under 15 years for committing the same war crimes and crimes against humanity? The tragedy is that Israel has done as much if not more damage and for much longer,.with no serious opposition at all.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a> This represents a massive travesty/miscarriage of justice for which there is no material explanation. The root of the problem is spiritual and a direct result of the [Talmudic teaching] which is foundational to Zionism.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a></p></li><li><p>Roberts has raised many important issues that must be more fully explained if we are to make sense of current events. One is, <strong>how much restraint is Iran required to exercise in responding to unjust aggression if it is to obey Just War Doctrinal principles?</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a> </p></li><li><p>Iran may have classified intelligence that strongly suggests the US will be unable to continue offensive attacks much longer (many qualified experts have said this recently), due to a severe shortage of offensive and defensive missiles which will take years to replace.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a></p></li><li><p>Perhaps Iran has concluded that it can rid the Middle East of the US entirely if it absorbs further attacks but refrains at this time from attacking Israel. Iran is methodically degrading US bases in the Persian Gulf area and forcing the US to move its military assets further out of range. It may be waiting for the US to be less able to defend Israel before attacking it.</p></li><li><p>Iran may believe that it can retain control of the strait of Hormuz (even if the Russian S-400 defensive missiles are supplied to the Persian Gulf States and Israel) because of the short distances involved (much more difficult to interdict) and because of their highly efficient land/sea drone program and swift-boat capability. </p></li><li><p>It may be that even the Russian S-400 and S-500 series lack the capability to interdict a high enough percentage of Iran&#8217;s hypersonic missiles to seriously change the overall equation. </p></li><li><p>On Monday, 2026, the Houthis (Ansarallah) of Yemen announced that the Bab-al-Mandab strait has been closed to the maritime traffic of Saudi Arabia. A blockade of Israeli ships was already in effect. This, in addition to the strait of Hormuz closure could decrease global maritime energy supplies by up to 30% or more (if the Suez Canal volume is added, this could be up to 36%)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a> and add even more challenges to continued US military operations in the region. </p></li><li><p>I currently see only 2 possibilities to explain what otherwise is completely illogical/irrational behavior<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a> on the part of the United States: </p><p><strong>1) the goal is to destroy the US </strong>as the sole remaining superpower, with billionaire elites and others continuing to ravage its resources until it can be invaded, occupied.and pacified or </p><p><strong>2) The US will continue using conventional US munitions against Iran until they are depleted and then destroy Iran with nuclear weapons.</strong> Another way this could be done is for Israel to attack Iran with nuclear weapons instead which would allow the US to claim plausible deniability and avoid retaliation from Russia or China (Joe Kent mentioned this possibility in an interview with <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiRYf5Clp4Q">Daniel Davis/Deep Dive </a></strong>on 2/21/26). In any case, Global Talmudic Zionism (GTZ) and Israel control the US. Their own frequently expressed goal is to destroy Iran and all opposition to Israeli control of the Middle East and then to steal Iran&#8217;s land and resources. There is no evidence that it will ever change.  <span>Worse yet, those GTZ&#8217;s controlling Israel and the US are homicidal maniacs/psychopaths that have no problem killing millions of people with nuclear weapons (they&#8217;ve killed millions of innocent people with conventional armaments). The only conceivable reason they might not do it is because of the retaliatory capability of multiple nations such as Russia, China, Pakistan or North Korea.</span></p><p></p></li></ul><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-1" href="#footnote-anchor-1" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">1</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>As opposed to Roberts expressed view that he isn&#8217;t an advocate for either side (Iran vs: Israel+US), I strongly believe and can prove, that Iran is the aggrieved/victimized party, having been subjected to a surprise (perfidious) attack during final negotiations in what is objectively an immoral/illegal/heinous act of aggression for which there is no justification.

Anyone who disobeys the scribes is deserving of death.&#8217;  </strong></em>This effectively raises the oral law (the Talmud) above the written law (the Torah), a rebellion directly condemned by Christ:</p><p><em><strong>&#8216;Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.&#8217;, </strong></em><strong>(Mark 7:9).&#8221;, from,</strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://thecatholictrumpet.com/the%E2%98%A9trumpet/f/the-blasphemies-of-the-talmud-against-our-lord-our-lady">The Blasphemies of the Talmud Against Our Lord &amp; Our Lady</a></strong></p><p><strong>T</strong><span>he Talmud contains commentaries (it is more accurate to say inversions/adulterations of the Hebrew scriptures) written by Jewish (Talmudic) rabbis. Babylonian and Jerusalem forms of the Talmud exist. Irrespective of what Talmudic rabbis say, the Talmud is not given or inspired by God, unlike the Old and New Testaments which for over 4000 years have been believed to be the inspired Word of God (e.g. Christ fulfilled dozens of Old Testament prophecies proving the veracity/inspired nature of it). The Talmud was written by men who reject the incarnation of God the Son in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, [</span><strong>&#8220;</strong><span>And he (Jesus) said to them, &#8216;The Son of man (Jesus) is lord (God) of the sabbath.&#8217;&#8221;, </span><strong><span>(</span><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206%3A5&amp;version=RSVCE">Luke 6:5</a></strong><span>)]. They also deny that He is the long awaited/prophesied Jewish Messiah. The oral traditions that maintained aspects of Jewish teaching were collected in the third century AD.</span></p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-3" href="#footnote-anchor-3" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">3</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>Talmudic Zionism (TZ) is filled with hate for Jesus Christ, His Gospel and those who worship Him. It is a continuation of the same set of beliefs and actions that the Pharisees possessed and exhibited when they falsely declared Jesus of Nazareth guilty of blasphemy and condemned Him to death by crucifixion (carried out by the Romans). If anyone doubts that TZ hates Christ and those who worship Him as God, consider that Hollywood is owned/controlled by Talmudic Zionists. Countless movie and TV productions contain reams of dialogue that take the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in vain. This is never done to Allah or any other god, only Jesus Christ. Christianity is the only religion that Hollywood and the media routinely besmirch and demean. This is not an accident. It is a calculated attempt to destroy Christianity and to promote Satanic beliefs and practices.

Col. Daniel Davis, of <strong>Daniel Davis/Deep Dive</strong>, raises very important questions in the following highly recommended video. </p><p><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmpDt7IaoBE">US War Machine: The Battle Against the American People /Lt Col Daniel Davis</a></strong></p><p><strong>Davis frames the issue as follows:</strong></p><ol><li><p>&#8220;Is our (US) administration incompetent to a level that no one ever thought they were?&#8221; That&#8217;s one option, he says.</p></li><li><p>The other is: &#8220;they&#8217;re not incompetent; they may be immoral and unethical (clearly they are since they intentionally started an unjust, immoral, illegal war of aggression at the behest of Israel)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> but they just want the war to continue&#8221; (whether for themselves for Israel or the global Zionist Control Matrix (ZCM/ZPC<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a>), despite the dire/predictable consequences: continued massive disruption in global energy supplies, fertilizers, helium, aluminum, diesel/airline fuel, computer chips etc. </p><p></p><p>Davis stresses that there is no diplomacy, no diplomatic track, despite the fact that there is no military solution for the US either. The implication is that from a logical perspective, continuing to bomb Iran with missiles is irrational. </p></li></ol><p><strong>Where does this leave us, Davis rightly inquires?</strong> </p><p>There is currently a &#8220;tit for tat&#8221; war, on auto-pilot. &#8220;Every day the US fires off more missiles and Iran keeps returning more missiles. We kill some Iranians, they kill some Americans.&#8221; Is this simply a war of attrition? Is it a &#8220;war to the last missile&#8221; as retired Col. Douglas MacGregor alleges? Has Iran concluded that the US will shortly run out of missiles and be unable to further prosecute the war? Estimates vary but credible predictions state that the US can continue for perhaps one or two more weeks at current levels of attack.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> </p><p><strong>What about Insanity:</strong></p><p>The only other option, exclusive of  incompetence or profound/intentional immorality, is insanity. However, while individual actions may be the result of insanity, it is almost never the explanation for the behavior of nation-states where mass-psychosis would have to exist/be proven. </p><p>As incoherent as US actions appear, it is dangerous to think that incompetence is an explanation for anything done at the level of nation-states where virtually nothing is left to chance or is truly accidental.

November</a></strong><span> (2026). Here&#8217;s a short snippet: &#8220;This will become a Global Noahide Law passed by/for the Antichrist, which will result in the persecution of all believers in Jesus Christ as foretold in the book of Revelation where it says,</span></p><p><em><span>&#8216;And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and </span><strong><span>I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands</span></strong><span> </span></em><span>(bold emphasis mine)</span><em><span>; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.&#8217;,</span></em><span> (</span><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2020%3A4&amp;version=RSVCE">Revelation 20:4</a></strong>).</p><p><span>This is very Serious Stuff...because One of the Noahide laws is Idolatry and the Jews do not consider Jesus to be God (because they say he was only a man).

Recall that by the mid 1990&#8217;s, &#8220;main-stream&#8221; media in the US was owned by forces that effectively eliminated all journalism critical to Zionism and the Israeli regime. Concomitant with that was the purchase of the US Congress and the Executive branch of government by the Zionist/Israeli lobby and its billionaire backers in the US and elsewhere. </span></p><p><span>Today, [there is no US foreign policy independent of Talmudic Zionist Israeli dictates]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a><span>, and it cannot/will not be changed by elections unless/until the truly despicable nature/behavior of Zionist Israel</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a><span> is understood by Americans. Whether that can happen is uncertain but it appears extremely improbable because the supernatural (read Satanic) nature of Global Talmudic Zionism remains hidden. </span></p><p><span>I agree with most of what Paul Craig Roberts has written in the piece below. His statement that, </span><em><span>&#8220;</span>The American Democrat Party is the only party in the Western World that is emerging as a political party aware of Israel&#8217;s Satanic inhumanity&#8221;,</em> is, only partially correct, however. Both political parties in the US are controlled by Satanically inspired Zionists. Only candidates supportive of the genocidal/land-stealing (Greater Israel Project) policies of Zionist Israel will be elected/selected for high office in America. A few outliers will make no difference. Only if the immoral nature of Global Talmudic Zionism is widely understood, is there any possibility that the US could free itself of Zionist influence/control. </p><p>J. Shannon</p><p></p><p><strong><span>The Israelization of America</span></strong></p><p>by Paul Craig Roberts</p><p>Israel has such contempt for its American puppet doll, into which Israeli operative President Donald Trump has turned a once proud United States, that US Representative Ro Khanna and his fact-finding delegation in the West Bank were detained by criminal &#8220;Israeli settlers&#8221; armed with US Army machine guns who had no right to be in what remains of Palestine&#8217;s West Bank.</p><p>Khanna and the US delegation were at a village destroyed by the &#8220;Israeli Settlers,&#8221; an extremist apartheid group operating outside Israeli and international law, not only tolerated by Netanyahu but also encouraged by him.<span> </span>The Israeli illegal invaders destroyed the village and its residents and is incorporating the Palestinian land into Israel.<span> </span>The American media, which is solicitous of Israel, never reports these atrocities, and Rep. Khanna went to see what the truth is.<span> </span>After all, as<strong> the Israeli-owned US Congress is in the process of merging the US and Israeli states into one</strong> (my bold emphasis throughout), Khanna thought he should find out more about the content of America&#8217;s new identity.</p><p>When the Israeli Defense Force appeared, it took the side of the illegal murderous settlers. Eventually Khanna got through to the US Embassy.<span> </span>The Israeli-worshipping US Ambassador Huckabee was able to comprehend that if a US Representative and an American delegation were machine-gunned by Israeli extremists it could become a problem for the pro-Israel Trump regime.<span> </span>Forces arrived to secure the release of the Americans.</p><p>This is what it means to be a lowly American today.<span> </span>You are a nothing to Israel and its powerful lobbies but a fool to be taken advantage of.<span> </span><strong>America&#8217;s Israel-owned Congress is about to pass two laws.<span> </span>One merges the American state with Israel.<span> </span>The other criminalizes Americans who criticize or protest Israel&#8217;s criminality. The US media is afraid to report these attacks on American sovereignty.</strong></p><p>The Republican Party and President Trump are 100% behind the subordination of America to Israel. Deceived Americans have been fighting in behalf of Israel&#8217;s domination of the Middle East for the entirety of the 21st century. American money and lives were used by Israel to destroy three countries that stood in the way of Greater Israel&#8211;from the Nile to Pakistan as Israeli government ministers recently expressed it&#8211;Iraq, Libya, and Syria. <strong>The Israeli-dominated US governments disguised their subservience to Israel as a &#8220;war on terror.&#8221;<span> </span>In fact it was a war </strong><em><strong>of terror </strong></em><strong>in which Washington adopted the Israeli practice of focusing on the murder of women and children.</strong></p><p>To retrieve America&#8217;s honor from its total debasement by Israel is beyond the ability of the brainwashed American conservatives and Republican Party.</p><p>US Rep. Khanna, a California Democrat says, correctly, &#8220;If you&#8217;re unwilling to speak up for Palestinian human rights, if you&#8217;re unwilling to speak up against the genocide in Gaza, the apartheid in the West Bank, then you are morally compromised.&#8221;<span> </span>Try to find a Republican or a member of the Trump regime who will say this truth.</p><p>Trump&#8217;s Washington is alone in supporting Israel&#8217;s illegal confiscation of Palestine as Israeli territory.<span> </span>Essentially, <strong>under Trump the US and Israel are already merged.<span> </span>International law and almost every country except the US regards Israel&#8217;s use of &#8220;settlers&#8221; to confiscate Palestinian villages in the West Bank as totally illegal under international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention. The Trump regime stands with Israel in total defiance of international law and Christian morality.</strong> How can any American support such evil?</p><p>The UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council have adopted numerous resolutions declaring Israel&#8217;s settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory illegal under international law.<span> </span>But like the League of Nations, the United Nations has no enforcement power.</p><p><strong>Iran is the only government in the world of 200 countries that says it stands in defense of Palestine.</strong><span> </span>But it remains to be seen if Iran will actually do anything.</p><p>The American Democrat Party is the only party in the Western World that is emerging as a political party aware of Israel&#8217;s Satanic inhumanity. Support for the Israeli criminal regime among Democrats has fallen from 59% eight years ago in 2018 to 22% today.<span> </span>Brainwashed Democrats are a shrinking minority.</p><p>So the question for patriotic Americans is this:<span> </span>Do we want to stick with Republicans and be merged with Satanic Israel, or do we want to support Khanna as president and hope he can avoid Mossad assassination and relieve Americans of the moral dilemma of the Republicans&#8217; unconditional support for Satanic Israel. What is worst, being morally compromised by barbarism or being overrun by immigrant-invaders?</p><p><strong>Notice:</strong></p><p><span>This article by Paul Craig Roberts was provided for educational purposes only.

Thirty-eight US states have laws on the books that deprive Americans of jobs and contracts with the state governments if they support boycotts of, and divestment from, Israel.</p><p>It was about 20 years ago that I hosted a member of an Israeli delegation that had come to the US to try to convince the Presbyterian Church at its annual meeting to divest from Israel because of Israel&#8217;s expanding occupation and absorption of Palestine into Israel.<span> </span>The delegation had no Israeli or philanthropic funding and was on a shoestring budget and sought support where they could find it which was room and board in American homes.<span> </span>The delegation failed to win over the Presbyterian Church.<span> </span>My reward for supporting an honest and moral effort to reduce Israeli violence against Palestinians was to be branded an anti-semite by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League whose only function is to defame all critics or suspected critics of Israel, just as today those who protest Israel&#8217;s genocide of Palestine are branded anti-semites.<span> </span>Contrary to the Zionists&#8217; intention, they have made &#8220;anti-semite&#8221; a badge of honor.<span> </span>We see this in the declining support of the American people for Israel and in the Presbyterian Church&#8217;s belated action.</p><p>But we don&#8217;t see it in the US government headed by Donald Trump.<span> </span>Some entertain the idea of a Washington-Israeli split over Iran.<span> </span>But elsewhere the Trump subservience to Israel continues to move rapidly forward.<span> </span>During Trump&#8217;s first term he alone among the governments of the world accepted Israel&#8217;s seizure of West Jerusalem in order to institutionalize and thereby legalize Israel&#8217;s expansion into West Jerusalem. In what was regarded as a scandalous violation of international law by the US, Trump moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to West Jerusalem.</p><p>This was just the beginning. A few days ago on July 1 the Trump regime signed an agreement with Israel to build a US Embassy on stolen Palestinian land in West Jerusalem.<span> </span>The agreement signed by the Trump regime violates Jerusalem&#8217;s international legal status as Israeli occupied Palestinian territory, territory impermissible for an occupying power to appropriate.<span> </span>The United Nations, human rights organizations, the Israeli Adalah Legal Center, and almost all governments do not accept Israel&#8217;s annexation of West Palestine as its status is enshrined in international law. Governments that do not accept international law are rogue states. Thus, the American president has designated the United States as a rogue state to join Israel in this classification. Be a Proud American.</p><p>The US ambassador to Israel, the despicable Mike Huckabee, made his contribution to legalizing the theft by declaring: &#8220;We are going to plant our flag, our American flag, on the soil of Jerusalem for a permanent and a brand-new embassy compound that will serve as our mothership of diplomatic activities here in Israel.&#8221;</p><p>The Israeli Adalah Legal Center criticized Washington for directly endorsing &#8220;Israel&#8217;s unlawful mechanisms of dispossession and displacement.&#8221;</p><p>The US has been shielding Israel&#8217;s crimes through out Israel&#8217;s 79-year theft of Palestine and expulsion of Palestinians, speaking all the while about a &#8220;two-state solution&#8221; to cover up the fact of the one-state solution that was emerging. During the Bush and Obama regimes, Washington went further and under the guise of a &#8220;war on terror&#8221; destroyed Iraq, Libya, and Syria for the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel, thus removing three of the &#8220;seven countries in five years.&#8221;<span> Norman Podhoretz, the editor of the Jewish magazine </span><em><span>Commentary</span></em><span>, had called for the US to destroy seven Muslim Middle East countries in five years. The Zionist neoconservatives who controlled the George W. Bush and Obama regimes, as well as the current Trump regime, repeated the agenda of seven countries in five years. Four star general Wesley Clark, commander of US forces in Europe, reported on television that he was apprised of the Zionist agenda by Pentagon generals. The whore American media lied to the American people that it was a war on terror against Saddam Hussein&#8217;s &#8220;weapons of mass destruction,&#8221; Assad&#8217;s &#8220;chemical weapons,&#8221; just as the whores lie to us that the war against Iran is about &#8220;Iran&#8217;s nuclear weapons.&#8221; Insouciant Americans are too far removed from reality to have any understanding of how they, their lives, and their money are being used, not for them, but for Israel. They are true dumbshits.</span></p><p>The international complaints about Washington helping Israel complete the absorption into Israel of Palestine by building a US Embassy in West Jerusalum are valid but meaningless, as Palestine no longer exists.<span> The Israelis have already announced that all of Gaza is to be incorporated into Israel and have unleashed the &#8220;Israeli settlers&#8221; to finish driving Palestinians out of the tiny parcel of the West Bank that remains. With Palestine&#8217;s existence over and done with,</span> Trump is hard at work bribing and threatening the Lebanese government to use Lebanon&#8217;s army to disarm the Hezbollah militia that has repeatedly turned back Israeli&#8217;s attempts to begin the absorption of Lebanon into Greater Israel by occupying southern Lebanon.<span> </span>As the task of disarming Hezbollah is beyond Israel&#8217;s ability, it is obviously<span> </span>beyond the ability of Lebanon&#8217;s official army.<span> </span>Supposedly, a deal is in the works whereby Trump will allocate US troops to the task. Having failed to overthrow Iran for Israel, Trump is making amens to Israel by offering to take on Hezbollah.</p><p>Iran&#8217;s agreement to participate in peace talks might turn out to be the fatal mistake that dooms all Muslims in the Middle East.<span> </span>Trump is using the &#8220;peace talks&#8221; to freeze Iranian military action against Israel and limit support for Hezbollah.<span> </span>If the Israeli-Americans can find a way around Iran&#8217;s war-fighting capability, Israeli nibbling away at Lebanon can proceed.</p><p>Meanwhile Israel is busy at work absorbing Israeli-occupied Syrian territory.</p><p>The world continues to look the other way while the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel moves forward.</p><p>Blindness to reality seems to be a special attribute of Americans. Americans are unaware that Israel&#8217;s bold takeover of the entire US government, aided and abetted by President Trump who is committing high treason against his own country and has completely betrayed his naive MAGA supporters, is moving rapidly forward. The Pentagon&#8217;s Defense Intelligence Agency recently again identified Israel as a counterintelligence threat to the United States. The response of the Israeli bought-and-paid-for US president and Congress is to use the 2027 US National Defense authorization Act to destroy the sovereignty of the United States by integrating the Israeli government into America&#8217;s executive, military, technological, intelligence and research institutions, thereby giving Israel far more control over US government policies than the American people have. This is going on right now as we celebrate our independence from England while gaining a far more dreadful master.</p><p>Dennis Kucinich, a Democrat member of the House who was redistricted out of his seat by his own party<em> because he could not be relied on to vote against his constituents&#8217; interest on every vote, </em>describes the surrender of American sovereignty to Israel: </p><div class="embedded-post-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:205017979,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://trendsinthenews.substack.com/p/kucinich-congress-preparing-to-surrender&quot;,&quot;publication_id&quot;:811472,&quot;embedding_publication_id&quot;:null,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;Trends in the News &quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!DvsJ!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8abcc73e-979a-4c35-86b9-48a1aa32622d_225x225.png&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;KUCINICH: Congress preparing to surrender American sovereignty on the eve of country's 250th anniversary &quot;,&quot;truncated_body_text&quot;:&quot;BY DENNIS J.

They are captives of Israel, of the MAGA delusion, of the military-security complex, the agri-business industry, Big Pharma, the digital revolution which has them sitting there stupidly scrolling their cell phones while their independence shrivels away unnoticed.</p><p>White ethnics are demonized as racists and anti-semites and are being reduced to legal inferiority. In Britain, the chief of the prosecutorial service has declared, in effect, that black criminals are not to be prosecuted but their white victims are. Here we see the success of decades of propaganda that all injustice in the world is due to white racism. Colonialism has been explained by Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, for decades as an exercise in white supremacy. This has been taught to the multicultural hordes who are overrunning white ethnic countries, producing violence in place of love and kisses.</p><p>Essentially, the white liberals wallowing in their own assumed guilt have destroyed white ethnicities. Jean Raspail describes our future best in <em>The Camp of the Saints.</em></p><p>Trump represents the Israeli Zionists. The Democrats represent the immigrant-invaders. No one represents Americans. We are a betrayed people. And we do not rise up in anger. We just accept our demise convinced of our racist guilt and anti-semitism, a pitiful people who have lost their independence by failing to defend it.

respect to whether the United States controls Israel or Israel the United States.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> This has been likened to the metaphor of the dog (US) wagging its tail (Israel) or the Israeli </span><em><span>tail</span></em><span> wagging the US </span><em><span>dog</span></em><span>, which is likely a false binary. The traditional view has been that the US, the world&#8217;s only superpower for much of the 20</span><sup><span>th</span></sup><span> century is the </span><em><span>dog</span></em><span> and Israel the </span><em><span>tail</span></em><span>. If this were the case, the US would use Israel to its own advantage (e.g., help maintain US hegemony in the Middle East and secure the petrodollar) while Israel could be seen not to benefit in some if not many circumstances. Evidence indicates however that Israel usually benefits while the US loses whenever the two are mutually involved in foreign affairs. In addition, as it became clear that the entire US Congress and the Executive branch are controlled by the Israeli lobby</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a><span>, (AIPAC, JINSA, B&#8217;nai B&#8217;rith etc.), this interpretation became increasingly difficult to support. As a result, various alternative media voices began to allege that the Israeli </span><em><span>tail </span></em><span>is wagging the US </span><em><span>dog</span></em><span>. There is a great deal of evidence for this construct, but a number of important counterfactuals exist that bring it into question. For example, why, given that Israel is almost completely dependent upon the US for political</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a><span>/financial</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a><span>/military support, does it insist upon [weakening the superpower status]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a><span> of the United States? </span>Why does Israel consistently place the US in a position of being untrustworthy in the eyes of the international community when Israel depends upon the world believing that the US is an upstanding nation? If Israel is actually in control but yet still dependent upon the US, why does it do these things, (unless Israel is not really in charge and the US isn&#8217;t either). </p><p><span>There are at least two other possibilities, only one of which is compatible with all of the relevant data that can be brought to bear. The third option is that the dog and its tail are each independently sovereign but in total agreement with respect to belief and actions, for example, Middle East policy. This cannot be the case for a variety of reasons, not the least of which because there would be no decision-maker who has ultimate veto power.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a></p><p><strong><span>Does a Supranational Entity Control Israel and the United States:</span></strong></p><p><span>The fourth and likely true picture is that a supranational entity controls both Israel and the United States (and virtually all other countries) and that national sovereignty in the traditional sense is only an illusion. To press the metaphor a bit further, this would be analogous to the brain of a </span><em><span>dog</span></em><span>, controlling the </span><em><span>dog</span></em><span> and its </span><em><span>tail</span></em><span> where the sovereign entity is actually the brain of the dog, not the tail or the dog&#8217;s body, exclusive of the brain. In reality, the supranational entity (brain) is also known as the Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC)</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a><span>, a [global Zionist control system under the domination of Zionist international bankers]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a><span> (the visible top of the organizational chart, only some of whom are known) such as those in the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the various &#8220;Central&#8221; Banks in each nation which are not government institutions but private entities.</span></p><p><span>It is now suggested that the &#8220;leaders&#8221; of Israel and the United States may function as puppets who carry out the demands of the Zionist Control Matrix (ZCM) aka Zionist Power Configuration (ZPC). The international Zionist Control Matrix appears to have many geographical outposts including, first and foremost, Israel</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a><span>, but also, the United States, Europe etc. Under this rubric, none of the visible leaders make decisions on their own. They are actors who dutifully read the scripts they&#8217;re given. This unfortunately, would include Russia and China. What if any evidence for this contention actually exists? </span></p><p><span>First, the global lockstep roll-out in response to the 2020 faux &#8220;pandemic&#8221; strongly suggests a unified control matrix that emanates from only one supra-national source. For example, almost every nation aggressively pushed toxic injections on their populations, substances they had to know were disease-producing/lethal in many instances</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a><span> and at the vey least potentially dangerous because insufficient time had been allowed to develop and properly test the product. In retrospect, the clear intent was, at a minimum, to damage and cull the global population and to determine how suggestible people are to mass indoctrination. </span></p><p><span>A second proof of this phenomenon is the global push for and adoption of AI which intends to render most humans irrelevant (if not terminable) when combined with advanced robotics. Why would the human race create a technology that has the ability to steal the livelihoods of vast numbers of people and eliminate all or nearly all humans? The entire world leadership has embraced this disastrous initiative without any public debate or serious discussion of the profoundly negative implications. </span></p><p><span>A third example is the constant putsch to increase  [deleterious/lethal levels of electromagnetic frequencies]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a><span> on global populations under the guise of providing faster download speeds from the internet (totally unnecessary). This ostensible reason is clearly false. The actual reason(s) (heightened surveillance/total population control/depopulation) are perverse in the extreme. </span></p><p><span>A fourth example is the global geoengineering program that has been in effect since at least the mid 1990&#8217;s. Only a supranational entity of great power and control could administer such a vast initiative. </span></p><p><span>Fifth is the inexorable advance of onerous [Noahide laws]</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a><span> in numerous countries over the past several decades.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a> </p><p><span>Sixth, why has no capable country, the UN or other entity stopped Zionist Israel from almost 80 years of genocidal conquest? If it were any other nation, the threat would have been neutralized decades ago. This question begs to be answered publicly. Many more examples exist. Readers are encouraged to consider other possibilities, none of which are benign.</span></p><p><span>Of the four possibilities, two appear to be incompatible with the relevant evidence. The traditional view, that the United States controls Israel as a chief outpost in service of its Middle East politics and energy hegemony, cannot be true. The idea that Israel and the US have an identical and cooperative commitment/policy with respect to the Middle East is also judged to be false. The remaining options appear to be that Israel controls the US (fits with Israeli lobby control of Congress and the Executive branches of US government) or that a supranational entity controls them both. I favor the latter </span>(not even Russia or China have attempted to stop Israel&#8217;s GIP) but<span> remain open to considering supplemental evidence, if presented. Some additional considerations follow:</span></p><p><strong><span>The Nature of Talmudic Judaism</span></strong></p><p><span>The crux of the problem for most people is the inability to understand the true nature of Talmudic</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14" href="#footnote-14" target="_self">14</a><span> Judaism (aka Talmudism) and its geopolitical/ethno-supremacist manifestation referred to as Zionism</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-15" href="#footnote-15" target="_self">15</a><span>. It is fundamentally a Satanic project. Everything that flows from it is antichristian and pro-Satan. Its moral code is the opposite of the Divine Law (The Ten Commandments/the Gospel of Christ) and the Natural Law. Fundamentally, this is a supernatural</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-16" href="#footnote-16" target="_self">16</a> <span>dispute, being acted out on the physical/material plane. </span></p><p><span>Functionally, </span><strong><span>Zionism worships the Devil.</span></strong><span> It embraces and practices the Devil&#8217;s moral code rather than Christ&#8217;s. For example, lies are good, truth is bad, killing the innocent is good, stealing is good, charity is bad etc.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-17" href="#footnote-17" target="_self">17</a> <span>Unfortunately, the vast majority of commentators, even those in the so-called alternative media, refuse to acknowledge the supernatural facets of this problem. It is as if there is no non-physical reality behind what is transpiring in the physical realm. The reasons for this are multifactorial but include; absence of necessary/basic knowledge/understanding of metaphysics (theory/philosophy of being/reality), moral philosophy (including theories of right and wrong and whether there is any universal moral code to which all can refer/adhere), epistemology (theory/philosophy of truth), what it means to say that all human beings share a fixed human nature due to being intentionally created in the image of God (imago Dei)</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-18" href="#footnote-18" target="_self">18</a> <span>and so forth. This can be as simple as alleging that nothing exists except the physical/material, a belief system that has many names such as philosophical naturalism/scientific naturalism, materialism, physicalism all of which are reductive and false. These deceptive systems are inherently anti-Theistic (Mono or Poly) because they deny the existence of any spiritual (non-physical) reality at all.</span></p><p><span>Some people are too uncomfortable to discuss anything but physical realities even though they profess tasset belief in such non-physical intangibles as love, loyalty, justice etc. Others simply deny that anything non-physical exists, which rules out the possibility of spiritual realms or entities entirely.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-19" href="#footnote-19" target="_self">19</a> The irony is that Satanic (Talmudic) Zionists know very well that non-physical realities exist. They want everyone else to think that only the physical realm is &#8220;real.&#8221; because it makes it easier for them to deceive humanity.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-20" href="#footnote-20" target="_self">20</a> </p><p><strong><span>Talmudic Zionism is the prevailing global worldview:</span></strong></p><p><span>Talmudic (</span>Satanic) Zionism<span> has infiltrated so many belief systems that it is now the prevailing global worldview, not just in the so-called developed West</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-21" href="#footnote-21" target="_self">21</a><span> An example of this is the fact that the oxymoronic &#8220;Christian Zionism&#8221; (the two are completely incompatible)</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-22" href="#footnote-22" target="_self">22</a><span> is accepted by hundreds of millions of people as a coherent belief system. It should be unnecessary to state that a true Christian cannot be a Zionist and vice/versa.</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-23" href="#footnote-23" target="_self">23</a><span> The two believe contrary creeds/doctrines, worship a different God and embrace opposite moral codes. This is true of even most so-called secular (Jewish) Zionists who despite their claims, totally adhere to Talmudic teaching by supporting the genocidal entity in Palestine. It is Talmudic Zionism that has generated the so-called Greater Israel Project (GIP). </span></p><p><span>The GIP is a genocide and land stealing program without moral/legal justification of any kind. No nation or individual who obeys the Ten Commandments, the natural law or the Gospel of Christ can accept the GIP. Its violations of &#8220;thou shall not kill&#8221; and &#8220;thou shall not steal&#8221; are obvious. It violates the golden rule ethic and the Gospel of Christ. The GIP like Talmudic (Satanic) Zionism should be totally repudiated by all people of good will.</span></p><p>As always, readers are encouraged to access, read and digest the material found in the notes and links in detail.

The Talmud has two main components:</p><p>1. <strong>The Mishnah</strong>: The first compilation of oral traditions.</p><p>2. <strong>The Gemara</strong>: Rabbinical commentaries and expansions on the Mishnah. This doctrine is explained in the <strong>Talmudic Tractate Shabbath, page 31, section 1</strong>, which recounts the story of a Gentile approaching Rabbi Shammai, asking to be taught only the written law. <span>Shammai dismissed him. The Gentile then approached Rabbi Hillel, who accepted him but proved to him that he must also accept the oral law. Furthermore, in </span><strong>Talmud Eruvin, Folio 21b</strong><span>, it is stated:</span></p><p><em><strong>&#8216;My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the scribes than in the observance of the words of the Torah, for in the words of the scribes lies the greater authority. Anyone who disobeys the scribes is deserving of death.&#8217;</strong></em></p><p>This effectively raises the oral law (the Talmud) above the written law (the Torah), a rebellion directly condemned by Christ:</p><p><em><strong>&#8216;Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.&#8217;, </strong></em>(Mark 7:9)<strong>.&#8221;</strong></p><p>The creation of the <strong>Talmud</strong> was a necessary precursor to Zionism, without which, the traditional Christian (non-Zionist) view against establishing a Jewish state in Palestine would have prevailed which includes the following:</p><blockquote><blockquote><p>&#183; due to the inability/refusal of first century Jews (beginning with the Pharisees at the time of Christ) to recognize Jesus of Nazareth as their long-prophesied/awaited Messiah/Divine Savior, and their crucifixion of Him, they no longer have any right to the &#8220;promised land&#8221; or the designation &#8220;God&#8217;s chosen people.&#8221;</p></blockquote><blockquote><p>&#183; Under this rubric, the Great Diaspora of the Jews post 70 AD, is considered a real-world consequence of that Jewish refusal/murderous act and the Church, instituted by Jesus Christ, is now the body of Christ and the chosen people of God).</p></blockquote></blockquote><p><span>For a detailed video presentation on the Talmud see: </span><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCqTg0H8pgQ">The Talmud: What the Catholic Church Actually Teaches</a><span>. </span></strong></p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-15" href="#footnote-anchor-15" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">15</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>See my, <strong><a href="/__u/akajshannon.substack.com/p/the-plague-that-is-zionism">The Plague that is Zionism: A Scourge on Humanity</a> </strong></p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-16" href="#footnote-anchor-16" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">16</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>Saint Augustine referred to this titanic struggle as the City of God v.: the City of the Devil which reduces to the City of man, divorced from his creator.

data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> throughout the world is the increasing attempt by many nations, including the United States, to place their populations under so-called Noahide laws.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> Should they ever take effect, <strong>Christians will likely be decapitated/martyred</strong> for professing faith in and worshipping Jesus Christ as God/Savior. It is very possible that those of other faiths might be as well.</p><p>Noahide laws are based on the false Pharisee/Talmud<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> generated premise/heresy that Jesus of Nazareth is not God in the flesh, the prophesied/long-awaited Jewish Savior, extensively referred to throughout the Old Testament scriptures, who fulfilled every Messianic prophecy in His person. The false messiah that is anticipated and will be accepted<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a> by Talmudic Jews, is the Antichrist.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a> As such, the authentic Messiah, Jesus Christ must be/is profaned/attacked<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a>, as are His followers (the body of Christ).<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a></p><p>A major impediment to people understanding the nature of what is involved with Noahide laws relates to the fact that the topic, (like that of Zionism<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a>), requires more than a rudimentary grasp of multiple academic disciplines and the ability to integrate the material found in each. Rather than the kind of &#8220;stove-piping&#8221; that is common in covert intelligence work, what is required is the ability to synthesize disparate kinds of information from varying sources (e.g., history, law, moral philosophy, theology, scriptural exegesis,  comparative religion etc.). This is another way of saying we shouldn&#8217;t get caught up in the minutia of one, limited subject area. </p><p>The <strong>Noahide laws</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a> (see <strong>Genesis 9</strong> for the probable reference/origin of the name)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a> are not found in the sacred scriptures as such but represent [rabbinical inventions]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a> only. The first five, numbered below are: </p><p><strong>1) Do not deny God </strong>(poorly defined as stated unlike the first and second commandments of the Decalogue).</p><p><strong>2) Do not blaspheme </strong>(under the Noahide rubric, the one supreme being/Triune God of Christianity is not God, Jesus is not God in the flesh and is not the prophesied Jewish messiah/Savior of the world). Those who worship the Triune God (Christians) may be decapitated for doing so. </p><p><strong>3) Do not murder</strong></p><p><strong>4) Do not engage in sexual immorality</strong> (poorly defined as stated, unlike the sixth commandment of the Decalogue).</p><p><strong>5) Do not steal</strong> </p><p>The Noahide laws do not appear in Genesis 9, but they do represent a very abbreviated/incomplete summary of passages as found in the Decalogue<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a> (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2020&amp;version=RSVCE">Exodus 20</a></strong>) which came later in salvation history as do the more complete set of instructions/commands found in Leviticus.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a> Note that <strong>the Noahide laws contain no prohibition against lying</strong> (a red flag which strongly suggests they are of Satanic origin [Satan is the father of lies<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14" href="#footnote-14" target="_self">14</a> according to Jesus Christ who is Truth<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-15" href="#footnote-15" target="_self">15</a> itself]) or covetousness/envy and no obligation to honor the Lord&#8217;s Day or one&#8217;s parents). Rather than obey all the 10 commandments and the commands/instructions found in Leviticus, the Talmudic rabbi&#8217;s appear to have discarded some, kept others and invented a few more in assembling their list of Noahide laws. The worst feature perhaps is that they reserve capital punishment for anything they decide is idolatry, the decision for which is incontestable/final.</p><p>Talmudic rabbis have rejected the much more detailed Decalogue, (given to man by God) for one of their own design and for their own purposes. This is extremely deceptive and intentionally so. The last two Noahide laws; <strong>do not eat the flesh of a live animal</strong> (ambiguous as stated) and <strong>establish courts of justice</strong>, are not contained in the decalogue or the Gospel of Christ at all (the word &#8220;justice&#8221; in this context is extremely deceitful since decapitation for what is falsely labeled idolatry, is the epitome of injustice). It is apparent, even from this cursory outline that the Noahide laws are an incoherent/incomplete/internally inconsistent hodge-podge of self-serving dictates. </p><p><strong>What do Noahide laws (actually) represent?</strong></p><p>Noahide laws, at best, (the <strong>ostensible reason</strong>), can be said to circumvent/replace the much more complete moral code found in the Mosaic covenant and the Gospel of Christ, with what is clearly a more primitive and incomplete one from an earlier time in salvation history. That alone should be enough for any Christian to reject them. Worse, <strong>it is inconceivable for Christians to abide by a moral code created by the theological descendants of the Pharisees who were responsible for crucifying Christ</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-16" href="#footnote-16" target="_self">16</a> and to accept anti-Gospel/anti-New Testament notions of morality/behavior.  It is crucial to understand that Rabbinic commentary (see Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 56A-60A, specifically 57A)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-17" href="#footnote-17" target="_self">17</a> on these &#8220;laws&#8221; is incompatible with the context of Genesis 9, the Decalogue (Ten Commandments) and the Gospel of Christ.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-18" href="#footnote-18" target="_self">18</a></p><p>At worst, <strong>(the real reason)  Noahide laws serve to persecute/kill </strong>those who are not (Talmudic) Jews, especially<strong> Christians. </strong>That being the case, they should be understood to be part of the [spirit of antichrist]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-19" href="#footnote-19" target="_self">19</a> and the Beast system of <strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2013&amp;version=RSVCE">Revelation 13</a></strong>. In other words, <strong>Noahide laws</strong> and Noahideism when promulgated today, are of antichrist<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-20" href="#footnote-20" target="_self">20</a>/<strong>Satanic origin</strong>, and a direct attempt to dethrone Christ the King whose incarnation and propitiatory death on the Cross for the sins of the world was the defining event in history.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-21" href="#footnote-21" target="_self">21</a></p><p><strong>Noahide Laws attempt to Nullify the Final Covenant in the Blood of Christ:</strong></p><p>All prior covenants e.g., Abrahamic, Mosaic, ended with the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary when the temple veil was torn in two, from top to bottom.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-22" href="#footnote-22" target="_self">22</a> The singular covenant remaining is the New and everlasting one in His (Jesus&#8217;) blood. That new covenant replaces all others while incorporating the moral code found in the Decalogue (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2020&amp;version=RSVCE">Exodus 20</a></strong>) and the commands of Christ as articulated in the Sermon on the Mount (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205-7&amp;version=RSVCE">Matthew 5-7</a></strong>) and elsewhere in the NT Gospel. It is the only covenant that should be obeyed by human beings since its author is God in the flesh, who alone has the right to make and enforce it, (proof of which is that no other person in human history but Jesus Christ has ever died, been buried and risen from the dead in the same albeit glorified physical body).<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-23" href="#footnote-23" target="_self">23</a> These are conclusions that, by logical necessity, flow from the factual content/evidence contained in the Gospel/life of Christ. The only recourse for objectors/critics is to prove the truth/fact claims are false. </p><p><strong>Idolatry and the Talmud:</strong></p><p>Ironically, it is the modern-day Babylonian Talmud professing (re: Sanhedrin 56-60) Rabbi&#8217;s and their followers who are guilty of idolatry. Jesus of Nazareth made very specific truth claims. He stated clearly that He and the Father (God) are one<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-24" href="#footnote-24" target="_self">24</a> and that He is the Messiah (Savior, God in the flesh) who was prophesied and expected. Christ proved His divinity in multiple ways but especially by dying a physical death and returning to life again on the third day. He was seen by hundreds of followers on numerous occasions thereafter and proven to have a physical body (not a ghostly, apparent one). Accordingly, those who deny the incarnation/divinity of Christ are guilty of idolatry, not those who believe and profess it. One wonders if those who desire to be ruled by Noahide laws and as such are idolators due to their rejection of [Jesus, Christ the King]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-25" href="#footnote-25" target="_self">25</a>), would be willing to undergo decapitation? Ironically, their own teachings demand it.</p><p><strong>Who is God?</strong></p><p>What is really involved in the Noahide law question and how such laws might be applied, is a matter of determining who the one, supreme being (God) is, since that determines what is considered false worship/idolatry and the punishment of beheading for transgressing it.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-26" href="#footnote-26" target="_self">26</a> If it is the Trinitarian God of Christianity, that is, one [Supreme Being (God)]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-27" href="#footnote-27" target="_self">27</a> in [three Divine Persons]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-28" href="#footnote-28" target="_self">28</a>, then any religion that rejects it is false and its adherents are guilty of violating the first commandment of the Decalogue (idolatry). That includes modern (Talmudic) Judaism. The key difference between the Talmudic Noahide laws and Christianity is that Christianity does not advocate punishing people for refusing to confess Jesus is God/Messiah/Savior or worship of Him. It uses [education and persuasion]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-29" href="#footnote-29" target="_self">29</a>, hoping that each person will see the truth and voluntarily convert (without coercion). The Noahide laws punish people with death for refusing to worship their false god (Lucifer/Satan) of Talmudic origin. In unguarded moments, some Talmudists have admitted the (true) identity of the god (Lucifer) they worship. Others, who serve as useful idiots, apparently remain unaware.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-30" href="#footnote-30" target="_self">30</a></p><p>Prior to the mid-twentieth century, it was understood by most professing Christians that the Gospel of Christ contains multiple truth claims, statements of fact such as, Jesus is God in the flesh, the second member of the Blessed Trinity, aka God the Son, the Jewish Messiah/Savior. These are assertions/dogmas that are either true or false. Each person of good will must evaluate them fully and behave accordingly. </p><p>In addition to the most well-developed moral code in history, the Gospel of Christ contains dogmatic formulations that must be believed by all who profess to be His followers. They are not open to debate, disbelief or rejection (recall the wisdom of the Vincentian Canon [what was always and everywhere believed]). This is another way of saying, Christianity is not a smorgasbord of offerings that may be selectively sampled. It is an all or none proposition because its author is Truth itself. </p><p><strong>Covertly &#8220;Clearing the way&#8221; for Noahide Laws:</strong></p><p>Despite acting largely covertly, Talmudic rabbis&#8217;, their acolytes in addition to atheists and agnostics were instrumental in having the Ten Commandments removed from public places, including schools and government buildings in the US. The alleged excuse/<strong>ostensible reason</strong> was to prevent mandatory posting of the Decalogue, justified by arguing that it violated the First Amendment&#8217;s establishment clause. The Supreme Court assisted this movement in its 1980, <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_v._Graham">Stone v.: Graham</a> </strong>ruling. One cannot help but think the <strong>real reason</strong> or one of them was to disguise the fact that once routine posting of the Ten Commandments was eliminated, the Satanically inspired Noahide laws could more easily be introduced and eventually codified into law by other means. It should be noted that the mandatory posting of Noahide laws is just as illegal/unconstitutional as mandatory display of the Ten Commandments, (applying the reasoning utilized in Stone v.: Graham). Yet, no constitutional opposition has been forthcoming as successive US administrations have been [surreptitiously normalizing Noahide laws]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-31" href="#footnote-31" target="_self">31</a> while the Ten Commandments continue to be deprecated. This, in retrospect, is intentional and despicable. Americans and those in other nations must recognize that any movement to bring about <strong>capital punishment for violations of Noahide laws is a brazen attempt to establish a punishing Talmud-based theocracy by stealth</strong>. </p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p><p>No believing/practicing/true Christian should have anything to do with Noahide laws which are anti-Christian/Satanic to the core. Their true origin/dangerous nature should be widely promulgated. All are encouraged to help spread the word. Our goal should be to help save as many lives and souls as possible.</p><p></p><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-1" href="#footnote-anchor-1" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">1</a><div class="footnote-content"><p><strong><a href="/__u/lawyerlisa.substack.com/p/henry-makow-phd-author-and-ethnic">&#8220;In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan stood in the Oval Office alongside Vice President George H.W.

For example, &#8220;I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from (beside) me there is no God...&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2045%3A5&amp;version=RSVCE">Isaiah 45:5</a></strong>); &#8220;that men may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other.&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2045%3A6&amp;version=RSVCE">Isaiah 45:6</a></strong>).</p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-28" href="#footnote-anchor-28" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">28</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>One of the earliest Old Testament passages that reveals the fact that the one, supreme being (God), is actually a trinity or community of three Divine persons <strong>(note that this is not 3 Gods </strong>(polytheism) <strong>because the one supreme being (God) shares or is composed of 3 Divine persons).&#8220;</strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201%3A26-27&amp;version=RSVCE"> </a><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201%3A26-27&amp;version=RSVCE">Genesis 1:26</a>, <sup>26 </sup></strong>Then God (the one supreme being) said, &#8220;Let <strong>us</strong> make man in <strong>our </strong>image, after <strong>our</strong> likeness;&#8221; The pleural &#8220;us&#8221; and &#8220;our&#8221; are utilized to indicate a trinity of persons.

It maintains a clear distinction between Israel and the Church (of Christ) alleging that God has separate/different plans/covenants for each. This effectively created two routes/pathways to salvation. Through it, the <em>land grant</em> and God&#8217;s <em>chosen people </em>designations of the Old Testament are retained and Jews can be saved without converting, which traditional Christianity clearly rejects.

God never said the Israelites would forever possess the land no matter what they did or failed to do as if they had no responsibility to perform their duties under the covenant and obey God&#8217;s commands. If all the relevant passages are included, the very opposite is the case.</p><p><em><strong>Land Grant</strong></em><strong> and </strong><em><strong>Chosen People</strong></em><strong> Status Contingent upon Covenant Obedience:</strong></p><p>To put an even finer point on it, the <em>chosen people</em> status and <em>land grant</em>, were contingent upon the ancient Israelites meeting their responsibilities under the Old (Abrahamic and Mosaic) covenants, that is, [obeying all of God&#8217;s commands]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a> (idolatry [not worshipping false gods] being the most important).

For centuries, Talmudic rabbis wrote commentaries<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-19" href="#footnote-19" target="_self">19</a> on the Hebrew scriptures that reject what is found in the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament.

The Talmud has two main components:</p><p>1. <strong>The Mishnah</strong>: The first compilation of oral traditions.</p><p>2. <strong>The Gemara</strong>: Rabbinical commentaries and expansions on the Mishnah. This doctrine is explained in the <strong>Talmudic Tractate Shabbath, page 31, section 1</strong>, which recounts the story of a Gentile approaching Rabbi Shammai, asking to be taught only the written law. Shammai dismissed him. The Gentile then approached Rabbi Hillel, who accepted him but proved to him that he must also accept the oral law. Furthermore, in <strong>Talmud Eruvin, Folio 21b</strong>, it is stated:</p><p><em><strong>&#8216;My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the scribes than in the observance of the words of the Torah, for in the words of the scribes lies the greater authority. Anyone who disobeys the scribes is deserving of death.&#8217;</strong></em></p><p>This effectively raises the oral law (the Talmud) above the written law (the Torah), a rebellion directly condemned by Christ:</p><p><em><strong>&#8216;Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.&#8217;, </strong></em><strong>(Mark 7:9).&#8221;, from,</strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://thecatholictrumpet.com/the%E2%98%A9trumpet/f/the-blasphemies-of-the-talmud-against-our-lord-our-lady">The Blasphemies of the Talmud Against Our Lord &amp; Our Lady</a></strong></p><p>My commentary: the Talmud contains commentaries (it is more accurate to say inversions/adulterations of the Hebrew scriptures) written by Jewish (Talmudic) rabbis. Babylonian and Jerusalem forms of the Talmud exist. Irrespective of what Talmudic rabbis say, the Talmud is not given or inspired by God, unlike the Old and New Testaments which for over 4000 years have been believed to be the inspired Word of God (e.g. Christ fulfilled dozens of Old Testament prophecies proving the veracity/inspired nature of it). The Talmud was written by men who reject the incarnation of God the Son in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, [<strong>&#8220;</strong><sup>5 </sup>And he (Jesus) said to them, &#8216;The Son of man (Jesus) is lord (God) of the sabbath.&#8217;&#8221;, <strong>(<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206%3A5&amp;version=RSVCE">Luke 6:5</a></strong>)].

Over a period of ~2000 years, the &#8220;chosen people&#8221; repeatedly rebelled against God. The Church Fathers of East and West agree that what is involved is not a temporary lapse but a permanent disposition that culminated with the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth (The Christ/Messiah/Savior) after being warned over 600 years earlier and repetitively.

variety of scriptural/traditional and political reasons. Saint Augustine&#8217;s approach was as much a response and alternative to Christian pacifism as it was a moral theory with respect to war. The two basic tenets of just war theory include </p><p>1) the justification, cause or intent of a particular war must be morally licit, so-called <em>jus ad bellum </em>[<strong>just cause</strong>] and </p><p>2) the way in which the war is conducted/prosecuted must be morally just (avoiding acts that are intrinsically evil in themselves such as rape, torture, use of inhumane weapons etc.), referred to as <em>jus in bello</em> [<strong>just conduct</strong>]. The just war doctrine as developed over roughly 1700 years has many elements as outlined below.</p><p>The following represents a detailed elucidation of traditional Catholic Just War Criteria:</p><p><strong>1) Jus Ad Bellum (the right to commence war)</strong></p><blockquote><p>&#183; Lawful Authority&#8212;only the legitimate, sovereign authority of the state/nation, charged with promoting the common good, may declare war. Authority must be ordered to the welfare of the people&#8212;not to private factions or interests that are averse/contrary to the common good. Authority is lawful only to the extent that it is ordered toward justice under the Divine Law.</p><p>&#183; Just Cause&#8212;as a defense against aggression, not offensively/unprovoked. Saint Augustine taught that war must only redress wrongs and restore what is unjustly taken. Saint Robert Bellarmine held that war must only be waged to ward off an injury, sometimes stated as &#8220;harm must be lasting, grave and certain (not potential). My commentary: this means war cannot be preventive. The doctrine of pre-emption is therefore rejected.</p><p>&#183; Right Intention&#8212;the intent must be ordered to the common good and the securing of peace. Saint Augustine condemns the thirst for vengeance, cruelty and the lust for power. Saint Robert Bellarmine taught that war must not be for injuring others or enlarging empire. Only a sincere desire for the common good and peace are valid intentions.</p><p>&#183; Last Resort&#8212;all other means of putting an end to the injustice must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective. All peaceful means must genuinely be exhausted. My commentary: in practice, this is virtually never the case.</p><p>&#183; Reasonable Chance of Success&#8212;there must be serious prospects of success. A war that cannot achieve a just and lasting peace is not justified.</p><p>&#183; Proportionality&#8212;the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders worse than the evil to be eliminated. My commentary: modern warfare with all its destructive force makes this criterion extremely difficult to meet, if ever. By inference, it is apparent that the use of nuclear weapons is always immoral because it violates multiple elements of <em>Jus Ad Bellum</em> and virtually every element of <em>Jus In Bello</em>.</p></blockquote><p><strong>2) Jus In Bello (the right conduct of war)</strong></p><blockquote><p>&#183; Moral Limits Remain&#8212;even when war is just, the conduct of war must always conform to the moral law.</p><p>&#183; Must Respect/Protect Non-Combatants&#8212;non-combatants, wounded soldiers and prisoners must be respected and treated humanely.</p><p>&#183; Indiscriminate Destruction is Prohibited&#8212;every act of war directed to the indiscriminate destruction of whole cities or vast areas with their inhabitants is a crime against God and man which merits firm and unequivocal condemnation.</p><p>&#183; Must Protect the Innocent&#8212;Saint Robert Bellarmine cautioned against the direct targeting of innocents, declaring it forbidden as is violence against them by trickery (perfidy is an example of this [e.g. attacking an opponent while negotiating]). Direct intentional killing of the innocent is always absolutely forbidden, and even incidental harm must be proportional. The doctrine of double effect (indirect killing where it is foreseeable but not sought) allows harm under very strict circumstances but in practice is extremely difficult to satisfy.</p></blockquote><p>Modern warfare includes aerial bombardment which by its very nature is extremely indiscriminate, even when target sets are carefully chosen using the best intelligence data available. The probability that innocent non-combatants will be maimed or killed is real enough to make it categorically immoral. Attacks from the air make it impossible to see/face one&#8217;s adversary having the psychological effect of dehumanizing them which makes it more difficult to <strong>be at peace</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a><strong> </strong>with them (the primary goal that should be sought).</p><p>Examples of US wars that have been immoral by Just War Doctrinal Criteria (some have failed virtually every one of the above criteria), include, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War of 2003, the Iran War of 2025 (aka, The Twelve Day War) and the Iran War of 2026 (aka the Forty Day War aka the Ramadan War). Readers are encouraged to use these criteria in evaluating other US wars and conflicts.</p><p><strong>Just War Criteria must be Unanimous:</strong></p><p>In evaluating a war, it is important to understand that if any of the above elements are violated, it is unjust. Military conflict is so destructive, particularly in the 21<sup>st</sup> century and given the advanced technology available, war should be thought of as inherently evil, in contradistinction to how it was viewed centuries ago. Glorifying war is an abomination and is to be condemned.

This assumes they know how to recognize them as such.</p><p>A variety of false reasons have been offered as a justification for the Israeli/US attack on Iran.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a></p><p><strong>False (ostensible) Reasons:</strong></p><p>1) <strong>Prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons</strong>. The US intelligence finding is that Iran has no nuclear weapons program.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a> Moreover, false allegations that Iran is months, weeks or even days away from producing a nuclear weapon, have been made for over twenty years, none of which were true. It is reminiscent of the  &#8220;imminent weapons of mass destruction&#8221; Iraq was alleged to have under Saddam Hussein (prior to the 2023 invasion), another example of a patent falsehood, used to provoke an unjust war of aggression. </p><p>2) <strong>Prevent Iran from attacking Israel</strong>. Israel has nuclear weapons, Iran does not. There was no realistic chance Iran would instigate an unprovoked attack on Israel.</p><p>3) <strong>Stop Iranian terrorist activity</strong>. Israel is the source of middle east terrorism, which formally began in 1947 with the Nakba.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a> Since then, through illegal/immoral increasing occupation of the land of Palestine, it has continued unabated.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a> Iran has never attacked its neighbors. Any proxy forces it has assisted were in response to unjust aggression on the part of Israel (e.g., Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza etc.) There is some evidence that sentiment against Israel is growing in many western nations<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a>, but to date it has been insufficiently strong to effect Israel&#8217;s behavior.</p><p>4) <strong>Bring about regime change in Iran</strong>, for which there is no moral or legal justification at all. The governance of a nation is the responsibility of its people, not foreign interlopers.</p><p>5) <strong>Bring freedom and democracy to Iran</strong>. The Iranian people are not monolithic with respect to their preferred form of government.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a> Subsequent to the revolution in 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has had varying degrees of support. Since 2/28/26, its backing has increased, according to Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi, unofficial Iranian spokesman and former advisor to Iran&#8217;s Nuclear Negotiation Team. The extent to which this might be true, is difficult to gage from outside Iran.</p><p><strong>Possible/Probable reason(s) for the Iran War:</strong></p><p>1) <strong>To clear the way for the IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor)</strong>, thus establishing Israel as a major controller of global energy supply/delivery.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a> This would make Israel the financial beneficiary of a large part of global energy production/distribution. If this is an important reason for the war, it&#8217;s unlikely the oil/gas producing facilities in the Persian Gulf will be destroyed (there would no longer be oil/gas available for transport to Haifa by IMEC). Look for an immanent peace treaty that leaves those facilities intact, without resumption of hostilities. If Iran is able to maintain a permanent toll/tax for shipments through the strait of Hormuz, now that it has firm control, the IMEC becomes a much more viable and potentially less costly alternative route, especially if the Bab el-Mandeb Strait entrance to the Red Sea is at risk from Houthi (Iranian proxy) attacks. A result of this would be to,</p><p>2) lessen the importance of the Strait of Hormuz, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and Suez Canal choke points in global energy delivery, in order,</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!92Qp!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fba8a66b4-b127-4ae0-94a4-2649ed11c392_1015x640.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!92Qp!, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/w_424, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fba8a66b4-b127-4ae0-94a4-2649ed11c392_1015x640.jpeg 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!92Qp!, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/w_848, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fba8a66b4-b127-4ae0-94a4-2649ed11c392_1015x640.jpeg 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!92Qp!, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fba8a66b4-b127-4ae0-94a4-2649ed11c392_1015x640.jpeg 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!92Qp!, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/akajshannon.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fba8a66b4-b127-4ae0-94a4-2649ed11c392_1015x640.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!92Qp!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fba8a66b4-b127-4ae0-94a4-2649ed11c392_1015x640.jpeg" width="1015" height="640" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ba8a66b4-b127-4ae0-94a4-2649ed11c392_1015x640.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:640,&quot;width&quot;:1015,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;A map of the middle east\n\nAI-generated content may be incorrect.&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="A map of the middle east

Trump can come away and declare, &#8216;I have secured a permanent agreement with Iran that they&#8217;ll never have a nuclear weapon and that they&#8217;re not going to enrich beyond 20%&#8217;, or something like that&#8230;I think this is likely to stretch out till at least August&#8221;, <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1tMNHY7Vog">IRAN WAR - NO END IN SIGHT, Goes Til August /Larry Johnson</a>.</strong></p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-21" href="#footnote-anchor-21" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">21</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>&#8220;<strong><sup>7</sup>I am for peace</strong>; but when I speak, they are for war!&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20120%3A7&amp;version=RSVCE">Psalms 120:7</a></strong>); &#8220;<strong><sup>6</sup></strong>For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called &#8216;Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, <strong>Prince of Peace</strong>.&#8217;&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%209%3A6&amp;version=RSVCE">Isaiah 9:6</a></strong>);<sup> &#8220;</sup><strong><sup>17 </sup></strong>Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all. <strong><sup>18 </sup></strong>If possible, so far as it depends upon you, <strong>live peaceably with all</strong>. <strong><sup>19 </sup></strong>Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God; for it is written, &#8216;Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.&#8217;&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012%3A17-19&amp;version=RSVCE">Romans 12:17-19</a></strong>); &#8221;<strong><sup>9</sup>Blessed are the peacemakers</strong>, for they shall be called sons of God.&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205%3A9&amp;version=RSVCE">Matthew 5:9</a></strong>); &#8220;<strong><sup>19 </sup></strong>On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, &#8216;<strong>Peace be with you</strong>.&#8217;&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020%3A19&amp;version=RSVCE">John 20:19</a>); </strong>&#8220;<strong><sup>3 </sup></strong>For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: <strong><sup>4 </sup></strong>For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, (should not be physical), mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.&#8221;, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2010%3A3-4&amp;version=KJV">(</a><strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2010%3A3-4&amp;version=KJV">2 Corinthians 10:3-4</a></strong>). </p><p><strong>The Gospel of Christ demands that we be at peace with one another.</strong> Let us not forget, &#8220;by their fruits you shall know them.&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%207%3A16&amp;version=KJV">Matthew 7:16</a></strong>, 20). </p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-22" href="#footnote-anchor-22" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">22</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>&#8220;<strong><sup>19 </sup></strong>We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the control of the evil one (Satan).&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%205%3A19&amp;version=NIV">1 John 5:19</a></strong>).</p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-23" href="#footnote-anchor-23" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">23</a><div class="footnote-content"><p> &#8220;<strong><sup>4 </sup></strong>The god of this age (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%204%3A4&amp;version=NIV">2 Corinthians 4:4</a></strong>); &#8220;<strong><sup>44 </sup></strong>You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father&#8217;s desires.

For example, one might ask, &#8220;what would happen if everyone did what is being contemplated?&#8221; A specific application of this would be to consider what would transpire if we could kill anyone and everyone, for any reason.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a> It is not difficult to envision how total chaos would ensue and many people would die unjustly, if not the entire human race.</p><p>Another relevant moral principle/concept is <strong>&#8220;one must never do evil that good may come of it.&#8221;</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> The point here is that an intrinsically evil act can never be justified by a potentially good intent (the ends, in themselves do not justify the means, which is to say, the adage, &#8220;the ends justify the means&#8221; is false). In scholastic moral philosophy, the <em>means</em> (act itself), <em>intent</em> and <em>circumstances</em> involved in an act with moral consequences, must all be acceptable/morally licit. This is often referred to as the proximate &#8220;end&#8221; the further &#8220;end&#8221; and the circumstances.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-4" href="#footnote-4" target="_self">4</a></p><p>In traditional Christian moral philosophy and theology, the Decalogue<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-5" href="#footnote-5" target="_self">5</a> and the teachings of Jesus Christ serve as the anchor and model respectively, for proper human behavior from the perspective of what should or should not be done and what ought or ought not to be done (what is and is not allowable behavior).<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-6" href="#footnote-6" target="_self">6</a></p><p>With respect to the morality involved in killing, a famous formulation is useful as a starting point; <strong>&#8220;it is always and everywhere gravely immoral </strong>(wrong)<strong> to intentionally kill an innocent human being/person</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-7" href="#footnote-7" target="_self">7</a><strong>&#8221;, </strong>which should be a statement with which everyone agrees and should serve as a kind of moral universal.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-8" href="#footnote-8" target="_self">8</a> This would appear to be the most lenient interpretation of the 5th commandment found in Exodus 20, e.g. &#8220;Thou shalt not kill.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-9" href="#footnote-9" target="_self">9</a> The most restrictive would be, &#8220;killing a human being under any/all circumstances is prohibited&#8221;, even in self-defense.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-10" href="#footnote-10" target="_self">10</a> If that were adopted or enforced, the entire just-war doctrinal corpus would have to be abandoned and much of Christian moral philosophy/theology back to at least the time of Saint Augustine.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-11" href="#footnote-11" target="_self">11</a></p><p>With respect to the strictest literal interpretation of &#8220;Thou shalt not kill&#8221;, (killing a human being under all circumstances is prohibited), some individuals and groups adhere strictly to it, rejecting all violence, such as those who belong to pacifist religious or political organizations.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-12" href="#footnote-12" target="_self">12</a> It is one thing to profess this belief in theory, another in practice, however. Nevertheless, it is a principled moral position, at least on an individual/personal level. Whether rulers of nations can adopt it, is another matter, especially when they have subjects/citizens who require a violent response (self-defense) to unjust aggression, since a major responsibility of government is to provide for the protection of its inhabitants.</p><p>Some exegetes argue that Christ refined the fifth commandment of the decalogue to include total pacifism when he said, &#8220;turn the other cheek&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-13" href="#footnote-13" target="_self">13</a> and, when he refused to resist being crucified unjustly.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14" href="#footnote-14" target="_self">14</a> Since Christ&#8217;s actions were meant to be [sacrificial, representative and salvific],<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-15" href="#footnote-15" target="_self">15</a> comparisons with Him, in this area, are inappropriate. When He instructed people to &#8220;turn the other cheek&#8221;, if struck, it appears to be a kind of universal injunction.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-16" href="#footnote-16" target="_self">16</a> Based on the context, this instruction seems to refer to the conduct of individuals rather than nations.</p><p>On the other hand, Saint Augustine taught that it is morally permissible to defend one&#8217;s life when it is threatened (using only the amount of force necessary to do so). From this general principle comes the teaching that <strong>for a war to be justified, it must only be waged defensively, as a last resort and the force utilized must be proportional to the threat posed</strong>. As a result, killing in a war which is started by an unjust aggressor is allowed if it is defensive only, is proportional (e.g. enough retaliatory killing to make it stop but no more) and unavoidable (in the sense of, violence only as a last resort). It should be unnecessary to state that by these criteria, <strong>almost all wars are morally unjust </strong>for failure to meet the just-war doctrinal criteria, meaning, they are immoral.</p><p><strong>Differences between the Old and New Testament Moral Codes</strong></p><p>There is a huge difference between the perspective and strictness of the moral codes found in the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament decalogue for example, the commandments that refer to the treatment of our neighbor (the prohibition against murder, adultery, stealing, lying and covetousness (envy/jealousy), are framed from the perspective of what is prohibited (the negative) rather than from what is expected in the form of duties. In the New Testament, the Ten Commandments are assumed as a basic minimum, but Christ expands on the positive duties each person owes to their neighbor.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-17" href="#footnote-17" target="_self">17</a> In the Sermon on the Mount<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-18" href="#footnote-18" target="_self">18</a>, Christ brought these considerations to perfection and in so-doing, significantly raised the bar on what He expects from human beings in their interaction with each other. This is the sense in which he says, &#8220;love your neighbor as yourself&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-19" href="#footnote-19" target="_self">19</a>, which expands upon the passage from Leviticus.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-20" href="#footnote-20" target="_self">20</a></p><p>Another feature of Old Testament moral teaching is the idea that justice in the setting of unprovoked attacks must be balanced by an equivalent form of punishment. Hence, the &#8220;eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth&#8230;&#8221; concept. For example,</p><ol><li><p><em>&#8220;<strong><sup>22 </sup></strong>When men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her shall be fined, according as the woman&#8217;s husband shall lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. <strong><sup>23 </sup></strong>If any harm follows, then <strong>you shall give life for life, <sup>24 </sup>eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, <sup>25 </sup>burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.&#8221;</strong></em><strong>, </strong>(<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2021%3A22-25&amp;version=KJV">Exodus 21:22-25</a></strong>).</p></li><li><p><em>&#8220;<strong><sup>19 </sup></strong>When a man causes a disfigurement in his neighbor, as he has done it shall be done to him, <strong><sup>20 </sup></strong>fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has disfigured a man, he shall be disfigured.&#8221;</em> (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2024%3A19-20&amp;version=KJV">Leviticus 24:19-20</a></strong>).</p></li><li><p><em>&#8220;<strong><sup>21 </sup></strong>Your eye shall not pity; it shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.&#8221;,</em> (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2019%3A21&amp;version=KJV">Deuteronomy 19:21</a></strong>).</p></li></ol><p>Some have mistakenly taken these passages to mean that we must always return in-kind, the sort of attack/damage we incur at the hand of another. When put in context, however, they do not say that at all. Rather they call for justice that is proportional, where the punishment matches the offense but does not exceed it. In so doing, excessive retaliation is avoided. This part of the Old Testament moral code was affirmed and then enlarged upon by Christ when he taught:</p><ol><li><p><strong><sup>38 </sup></strong>&#8220;You have heard that it was said, &#8216;An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.&#8217; <strong><sup>39 </sup></strong>But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205%3A38-39&amp;version=RSVCE">Matthew 5:38-39</a></strong>), and,</p></li><li><p>&#8220;love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-21" href="#footnote-21" target="_self">21</a></p><p>(reacting to violent attacks with restraint/gentleness rather than violence.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-22" href="#footnote-22" target="_self">22</a> Unfortunately, in our day, what is often referred to as justice, is really the seeking of revenge<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-23" href="#footnote-23" target="_self">23</a>, which the Gospel of Christ prohibits).</p></li></ol><p><strong>A Few Examples:</strong></p><p>1) <strong>Killing an attacker to prevent one&#8217;s death (self-defense).</strong> This is the paradigmatic case of self-defense on an individual level. It can also apply to nation states. From what was discussed above, it is apparent that killing an attacker in self-defense is morally permissible only if it is necessary to prevent serious injury or death of the victim under attack. If lesser degrees of force would suffice, then killing is prohibited. The analogy to nation states would be, going to war after being attacked (unjust aggression), especially when all other options short of war have been exhausted, (e.g., compromise/diplomacy/mediation etc.). The same prescription applies with respect to not exceeding the force necessary to repel the enemy. The concept of <strong>proportionality</strong> is also useful in determining how much force should be applied, as is that of assessing the <strong>probability of success</strong> and the <strong>likelihood of unintended consequences</strong> such as collateral damage. Neither on an individual or nation-state level is it morally justified to attack or kill without provocation. To do so is always gravely immoral, e.g., prevention/pre-emption, genocide, humanicide, democide, ethnic cleansing or to acquire more land, power, influence etc. Contemporary examples of these abound and are condemned.</p><p>2) <strong>Killing to prevent subsequent murder in those who have already been convicted of it. </strong>This is often advocated by those who support the death penalty. If there is no other way to protect society (seldom the case, in practice), capital punishment may be required and under such circumstances, can be considered morally acceptable. Too often however, this option is not necessary to protect society and represents a desire for vengeance which is contrary to the teaching found in the Old and New Testaments (vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord).<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-24" href="#footnote-24" target="_self">24</a> It is improper to invoke &#8220;eye for an eye&#8221; type passages to justify capital punishment because they distort the meaning of those scriptures, as detailed above. Whether the execution of those convicted of premeditated murder serves as a deterrent for others contemplating it, is beyond the scope of this work.</p><p>3) <strong>Killing to prevent scandal, inconvenience or hardship</strong>. This is an area that is often bitterly contested but not on proper moral grounds. As an example, abortion is often advocated for one or more of these reasons. All are gravely immoral since an illicit <em>means </em>(killing the unborn child) is selected in service of a goal or<em> intent</em> that may or may not be legitimate depending upon the <em>circumstances</em>. Even if the intent and circumstances are morally licit, abortion is always morally wrong. It is the fact that abortion intentionally kills an innocent human being (the <em>means </em>selected) that is objectionable, irrespective of a potentially acceptable intent and or set of circumstances. It is not simply that motherhood and raising a child is being rejected, for if it were, adoption would be an option. It is the desire to no longer be pregnant or have any evidence of pregnancy, which, at that point can only be achieved by intentionally killing the unborn child (achieving its non-existence), that makes it morally prohibitive. Even in the horrific case of rape and subsequent pregnancy, abortion cannot be morally condoned since an innocent human being is intentionally killed to achieve the non-pregnant state of the mother. It is not the unborn child&#8217;s fault that he/she was conceived through sexual assault. This is admittedly a very difficult teaching and should be approached with great sensitivity, remembering that eternal not simply temporal consequences are involved. Other examples that do not involve abortion, can be conceived of.</p><p>4) <strong>Killing to prevent overpopulation.</strong> As difficult as it may seem to accept, this is being carried out, (covertly at least, if not overtly). There are many programs underway that utilize the alleged need<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-25" href="#footnote-25" target="_self">25</a> to reduce global population (the intent) as a justification for doing so. One is, compelled toxic injections, another is geoengineering/terraforming. This represents the crassest form of Utilitarianism possible. The goal of reducing population is apparently of such paramount importance to those who own/control the world that they are willing to utilize any <em>means</em> to achieve it.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-26" href="#footnote-26" target="_self">26</a> Forcefully reducing the world&#8217;s population for any reason, is highly immoral. People should not be prevented from reproducing because it transgresses a divine command, &#8220;be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it&#8221;, (<strong><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201%3A28&amp;version=RSVCE">Genesis 1:28</a>)</strong>, violates free will/agency and human nature itself. Individual free-will choices of human beings not to reproduce can be morally licit depending on the methods employed. Intentionally seeking the death or disability of human beings can never be justified irrespective of the alleged circumstances or purported necessity of the goal/intent.</p><p>Contemporary claims that the world&#8217;s population has or is about to exceed its so-called carrying capacity, (food, water supply and space) are unsupported by evidence. Even if they were true, there exist, morally acceptable ways to deal with them. Those that have been proposed and deployed are all immoral (forced sterilization, forced vaccination with deleterious substances, toxic nano-particulate aerosol poisoning of the atmosphere, electromagnetic frequency bombardment [EMF] with increasingly more powerful non-ionizing radiation, promotion of homosexuality, transgenderism, transhumanism and euthanasia to name a few. Voluntary reproductive restraint/abstinence, obtained through proper informed consent using gentle persuasion, would be a morally legitimate way to achieve population reduction as opposed to the covert ways in which entire populations have been subjected to attempted sterilization through the injections of vaccines designed to render them infertile (see the WHO sponsored, HCG laced tetanus shots administered in Nairobi, Kenya).<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-27" href="#footnote-27" target="_self">27</a></p><p>5) <strong>Killing to eliminate religions, nations, foreign leaders, governments, peoples, racial or ethnic groups and other innocents. </strong>These are all direct violations of the 5<sup>th</sup> commandment<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-28" href="#footnote-28" target="_self">28</a> of the Decalogue and the Gospel of Christ<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-29" href="#footnote-29" target="_self">29</a> and must be condemned. For a consideration of certain Old Testament scriptural passages that appear to sanction such practices and the problems posed by multiple apparent scriptural contradictions, see the coming post on that topic.</p><p>6) <strong>Child Sacrifice.</strong> This should be unnecessary to mention, but because of recent disclosures<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-30" href="#footnote-30" target="_self">30</a>, it will be. The abhorrent practice of child sacrifice to false god, Baal/Molech (read Satan) as documented in [multiple Old Testament passages]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-31" href="#footnote-31" target="_self">31</a> is so egregious as to defy description. Those who practiced it were dealt with most severely<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-32" href="#footnote-32" target="_self">32</a>, a fact that does not bode well for many individuals and nations today. This kind of idolatry was/is considered an abomination by God.</p><p><strong>A Traditional/Scholastic view of the Morality of Human acts:</strong></p><p>Thomas Aquinas is credited with formulating the most complete understanding of the principals involved in evaluating the morality of human actions. He synthesized the teaching of the best Greco-Roman philosophers (primarily Aristotle) with the moral content found in the Gospel of Christ.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-33" href="#footnote-33" target="_self">33</a> The result is known as the Aristotelian/Thomistic synthesis.</p><p>From the scholastic perspective, there are three features that must be considered in the evaluation of a human action to ascertain whether it is of moral significance and if so, whether it is morally acceptable or not. The first, is <strong>the act itself</strong> (usually confined to the physical only) which is referred to by several terms including the proximate &#8220;end&#8221; or<strong> </strong><em><strong>means</strong></em>. The second is the further <em><strong>end</strong></em> also known as the <em>i<strong>ntent</strong> </em>or goal of the action. This is generally a mental exercise that serves to define or crystalize the reason for performing said act and represents the product of the intellect and the will. The third, is the set of <strong>circumstances </strong>that prevail and are unique to the situation. When an attempt is made to limit moral considerations to the circumstances or situation alone it is referred to as <strong>Situational Ethics</strong>. When the intent or goal alone is considered the only/prime criterion, it is referred to as <strong>Utilitarianism</strong> (principle of utility) where any &#8220;means&#8221; is considered legitimate in the accomplishing of a goal (the ends justify the means). Neither of these are moral theories because they do not take proper account of all 3 elements; means, ends and circumstances involved in a potential act of moral significance. Any credible moral theory must include a consideration of these 3 essential features.</p><p>With respect to recent events in the Middle East, it is difficult to believe that the perpetrators have ever considered the basic tenants of traditional (Christian) morality, the &#8220;golden rule ethic&#8221; or anything other than the most debased form of Utilitarianism.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-34" href="#footnote-34" target="_self">34</a></p><p><strong>General Principles:</strong></p><ol><li><p>Almost all killing is evil except that done in self-defense where anything less would be ineffective at saving life. <strong>Promote life.</strong><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-35" href="#footnote-35" target="_self">35</a></p></li><li><p>War should be avoided if at all possible.

In many translations the word &#8220;murder&#8221; occurs instead of the word &#8220;kill&#8221;, (the King James Version and the Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition both use the word<em> kill</em> but in the Orthodox Jewish Bible, the word is rendered <em>murder, </em>as it is in many others. The Hebrew found in that verse can apparently refer to either word, but the weight of evidence seems to be that the word <em>murder </em>is closer to the intent than the word <em>kill</em>. Murder is understood to be the intentional killing of another human being, (i.e., not in self-defense) as the &#8220;end&#8221; sought or desired. The context of the Exodus 20:13 passage does not clearly differentiate between prohibiting all killing of human beings or whether it refers to <em>murder </em>as a prohibition against killing an innocent human being. However, fewer contradictions arise if the commandment is assumed to prohibit murder rather than the killing of human beings under all circumstances. </p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-10" href="#footnote-anchor-10" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">10</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>From a felony-legal perspective, first and second-degree murder would be examples of what is prohibited under the 5<sup>th</sup> commandment.

Legal and moral considerations do not always agree. For example, it is always and everywhere wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human being no matter what the circumstances. In other words, no set of circumstances can justify an intended, intrinsically evil action, even if it is legal.

However, there are less developed elements of it to be found before that time, in other eras. Prior to the Augustinian formulation but after the death of Christ, the early Christian Church Fathers favored pacifism for a variety of scriptural/traditional and political reasons. Saint Augustine&#8217;s approach was as much a response and alternative to Christian pacifism as it was a moral theory with respect to war. The two basic tenets of just war theory include 1) the justification, cause or intent of a particular war must be morally licit, so-called <em>jus ad bellum </em>[just cause] and 2) the way in which the war is conducted/prosecuted must be morally just (avoiding acts that are intrinsically evil in themselves such as rape, torture, use of inhumane weapons etc.), referred to as <em>jus in bello</em> [just conduct].The just war doctrine as developed over roughly 1700 years has many elements.

It is intended to be intentionally destabilizing and make people easy to control/influence/manipulate.</p><p>Obvious questions that come to mind are, </p><p>1) What is meant by &#8220;flat?&#8221;<strong> </strong></p><p>2) Does the &#8220;flat-earth&#8221; hypothesis allow for the 3 dimensions of space even though only a 2-dimensional figure can be truly referred to as <em>flat</em>? A flat earth could either be a line without width and height (a very strange [unidimensional world) or a plane (length and width) but no height (think of the mind experiments with &#8220;flat-landers&#8221;). If a third physical dimension of height is added and is anything more than zero, the resultant figure can no longer be referred to as <em>flat</em> in any meaningful sense. It might resemble a cake-pan with top, bottom and four sides. Is that what most flat-earth proponents mean? Surely flat-earth enthusiasts don&#8217;t deny three-dimensional space (length, width, height). On the other hand, the word &#8220;flat&#8221; is sometimes used to refer to terrain that lacks hills or mountains. A better term in that context would probably be &#8220;level&#8221; as it avoids the problem of dealing with a non-zero height dimension.</p><p>In other contexts, the word flat actually refers to the lack of any appreciable width dimension where there are length and height but no width (imagine an infinitely thin wall) but experience teaches that this also is an impossibility, and finally, </p><p>3) what if any evidence supports the idea that the earth is flat? These are all issues with which a flat earth proponent must deal (there are many others) to avoid logical absurdities/inconsistencies.</p><p><strong>The need for a Cosmological Model</strong></p><p>Another important consideration is whether anyone has proposed a detailed cosmological model for the flat-earth hypothesis? Most people are very familiar with the spherical earth model of the solar system in which the earth rotates (spins) on its axis once every 24 hours and completes one revolution around the sun each year, i.e, Heliocentrism. I can think of many reasons why the earth must be spherical. Can you think of any reasons why the earth must be flat if we are to explain observations available to all?</p><p>Here are some reasons why I think the spherical earth hypothesis is correct, and the <em>flat-earth</em> hypothesis is wrong:</p><p>1) In the northern hemisphere where I live, the sun rises ~45 degrees further south (roughly 135 degrees on the compass) in December than it does in July when it rises almost due east (~90 degrees). How can this be explained unless the earth is spherical and revolves around the sun with a specific [<strong>eccentricity </strong>(shape of earth&#8217;s orbit), <strong>obliquity </strong>(axial tilt), <strong>precession</strong> (direction Earth&#8217;s axis of rotation is pointed?]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-2" href="#footnote-2" target="_self">2</a></p><p>1) If the earth is flat, why does the sun &#8220;rise&#8221; in the east and &#8220;set&#8221; in the west?</p><p>2) If the earth is flat, why is there a sun &#8220;rise&#8221; and sun &#8220;set&#8221; at all?</p><p>3) In the summer, there are over 15 hours of daylight where I live, in the winter, roughly 10 hours of daylight. In the extreme arctic, it is daylight for 24 hours per day in the summer and there is total darkness, day and night, in winter. How is this explained if the earth is flat? It is quite easy to explain if the earth is spherical as described in #1 above.</p><p>4) If the earth is flat, why does the sun appear higher in the sky in the northern hemisphere during summer and lower in the sky during winter. If the earth is spherical as described in # 1 above, this is explained.</p><p>5) If the earth is spherical, rotates (on an axis at roughly 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of its orbit) every 24 hours and revolves around the sun in ~365 days, it is easy to account for the change of seasons and the markedly increased temperature of summer and much lower temperatures in winter. How do we account for this if the earth is flat?</p><p>6) For very long distances for example in the northern hemisphere, jet airliners do not fly a straight-line from one point to another. They fly a shorter route than the straight-line distance by using the shorter distance to be found where the earth is less broad. They do this to conserve fuel and time. How does a flat earth account for this?</p><p>7) When a tall ship (think of a cruise ship 12-14 stories above the water line), approaches land, only the upper-most levels can be seen initially. As the ship gets closer, more of the lower parts of the ship can be visualized as well. If the earth is spherical, this can easily be explained, if it is flat, it cannot be accounted for.</p><p>8) The view from high altitude plane flights and pictures from high altitude balloons and satellites in low-earth orbit reveal that the horizon is curved.</p><p>9) If the earth is flat, what is on the non-surface side of the earth? How deep is the alleged <em>flat earth</em>? Is it thousands of miles deep or much less? If the only significant spatial dimensions are length and width (flat), how is this different from the world inhabited by the imaginary &#8220;flatlanders&#8221; who have no height dimension?</p><p>10) If the flat-earth theory doesn&#8217;t deny the spatial dimension of height wouldn&#8217;t a flat earth have to be like a cake-pan with 6 sides if there is a height dimension? How could the height dimension beneath the surface be measured? What is on the other 5 sides of the &#8220;cake pan?&#8221; How could we know?</p><p>11) If the earth is flat, why do we not hear of people reaching the edge of the earth?</p><p>12) If the earth is flat what is the explanation for the 4 major compass directions north, south, east and west? How do we know which direction to take to get from point A to point B in a flat earth? Why did Columbus sail west to get to the New World? How did he know which direction to go? If the voyage of Magellan<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-3" href="#footnote-3" target="_self">3</a> was the first to circumnavigate the world by sea, how is that possible if the earth is flat? If the earth is flat, how do we interpret the flight of Amelia Erhardt, (the first woman to attempt to circumnavigate the globe by air)? If the earth is flat, how do we interpret the orbital space flights of Russian cosmonauts and American Astronauts? </p><p>13) Why is the trajectory of rockets ascending into space always in an easterly direction? If the earth is rotating around its axis in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the north pole (assuming the earth is spherical), this makes complete sense. If the earth is flat and not moving, it does not.</p><p>14) If the earth is flat, doesn&#8217;t that require that the moon is also flat if we are to be consistent?</p><p>15) If the earth is flat, doesn&#8217;t that mean all other planets in the solar system are flat as well?</p><p>16) If the earth is flat, why do Saturn&#8217;s rings appear round/oval when viewed through a telescope?</p><p>17) If the earth is flat, why does the sun appear round?</p><p>18) If the earth is flat, what would it look like from space, (a line, a rectangular shaped box, other)?</p><p><strong>How to apply the scientific method:</strong></p><p>Consider that science involves formulating hypotheses and then designing empirical experiments to see how well the results fit with the tentative/working hypothesis. Assuming that the experiments are well-designed, it should be possible to ascertain whether the empirical findings fit with the initial hypothesis. If they do, the hypothesis is tentatively confirmed, subject to more testing. If not, the hypothesis must either be altered to fit the empirical evidence or discarded in favor of another one, more in keeping with the accumulated evidence. Here are some questions for interested parties to consider. Has the spherical earth hypothesis been empirically tested and found to be an excellent fit with the data? If so, what are those experiments? Has the flat earth hypothesis been empirically tested? If so, what are the experiments that have been done and do they fit with the flat earth hypothesis?</p><p><strong>An Empirical Test:</strong></p><p>Take a set of binoculars and if available, a low-powered portable telescope to west-Texas where there are no mountains and where it appears to be extremely flat. When I traveled there, I was amazed at how it seemed flat in every direction, (to my naked eye). This could have made me hypothesize that the earth is flat and not spherical. To empirically test the idea, one could erect a two story (~24 foot high &#8220;road sign&#8221; resembling a billboard like those that appear along major interstate highways in a deserted area where there are no buildings, interstates or busy roads. Paint it a very bright color so that it can be seen from a distance. Begin traveling in a straight line away from the billboard along a predetermined compass heading. Turn back at recorded intervals (for example, every 100 yards) and look toward the billboard, with the naked eye, the binoculars and the telescope (which will be more useful as the distance increases substantially). Record in detail what is seen at each distance. We know from experience that, depending on atmospheric conditions, large objects can be seen by the unaided eye for roughly 10 miles. Notice whether the entire billboard from top to bottom can be visualized at each distance and whether the image is identical, irrespective of whether viewed with the naked eye, the binoculars or the telescope. If they are not identical, record how they differ. If the earth is flat, the image should be completely present in the field of vision at whatever distance it can be seen, irrespective of whether it is viewed with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope. Eventually, the image will no longer be visible with the naked eye and even with the binoculars but for some distance further it will be visible with the telescope. If the earth is spherical, the entire billboard image should be visible at close distances, but the bottom portion will disappear as distance is increased. Eventually, only the very top of the billboard image will be visible. Other simpler variations of the experiment exist. For example, notice as the sun sets when looking at a tall building, (for example, one of 40-50 stories). As the sun goes down, the sun lights up the entire side of the building initially. As the sun sinks further in the sky, only the higher parts of the sides of the building are lit up. Eventually, only the very top. These kinds of experiment/observations were first conducted by viewing tall-masted ships at distance where it was noticed that when barely visible, only the ship&#8217;s mast was apparent. Gradually as the ship got closer, lower portions of the ship became visible as well. This was one early empirical proof that the earth is spherical. </p><div><hr></div><p></p><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-1" href="#footnote-anchor-1" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">1</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>This has also been referred to as the &#8220;flat-earth&#8221; theory although there does not appear to be enough empirical evidence to call it a theory or even a hypothesis.</p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-2" href="#footnote-anchor-2" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">2</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>Milankovitch cycles, &#8220;Serbian scientist Milutin Milankovitch hypothesized the long-term, collective effects of changes in Earth&#8217;s position relative to the Sun are a strong driver of Earth&#8217;s <em><strong>long-term</strong></em> climate and are responsible for triggering the beginning and end of glaciation periods (Ice Ages).

Those that are foreign (non-self) will be recognized by the body&#8217;s immune system and any cell in which they are expressed/attached will be destroyed if there is adequate immune responsiveness. This means that <strong>any foreign or non-self, protein when administered, is a toxin/poison.</strong> If such a protein is administered, it is evidence of intent to cause serious harm to the recipient.<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-21" href="#footnote-21" target="_self">21</a> Sometimes, the <strong>innate immune system</strong> of the body is unable to easily detect that a foreign protein is present or is unable to destroy it quickly.

Here we have a possible explanation for the acute and chronic immune problems associated with the CV19 &#8220;vaccines.&#8221;</p><p><strong>One disturbing question remains to be addressed by responsible authorities:</strong></p><p>What other medical or health-related &#8220;product&#8221; has remained on the market with an adverse event profile like the CV19 &#8220;vaccines.&#8221; The answer is none. Then why has this one?<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-23" href="#footnote-23" target="_self">23</a> <strong>Because it was intentionally designed and administered for the express purpose of damaging people</strong> (to cause acute/chronic illness and death). The moral philosophical and logical implications are irrefutable (consider that four-plus years of documented, horrendous adverse effects have not resulted in the CV19 &#8220;vaccines&#8221; being banned). Ignorance is no longer excusable. The only other possibility is <em><strong>intent to harm.</strong></em></p><p>While it is very stimulating to question/debate about whether the so-called &#8220;spike protein&#8221; (or whatever foreign/toxic protein might be coded for by its modified RNA sequence) is allegedly contained in the CV19 &#8220;vaccines&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-24" href="#footnote-24" target="_self">24</a>, it makes no difference to each person in whom it has been administered. The only relevant issue/question is how much damage they will sustain after one or more injections.</p><p>On the other hand, the question should matter a great deal to scientists and clinicians. If the alleged &#8220;spike protein&#8221; that has been reported to be highly toxic, is some other undisclosed, toxic (synthetic or naturally occurring) protein, not part of the human proteome, (either of which would be regarded as non-self by the immune system), it is critical to know what that protein is and the pathophysiologic mechanisms by which it produces a plethora of illnesses, either independently or synchronously in combination with <strong>other undisclosed<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-25" href="#footnote-25" target="_self">25</a>, CV19 &#8220;vaccine&#8221; substances<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-26" href="#footnote-26" target="_self">26</a>/excipients, </strong>many of which<strong> are known to be toxic to humans. </strong></p><p>Ample evidence exists (to know) that <strong>the CV19 mRNA product is a weapon, </strong>irrespective of what it contains.

The origin and specificity of antibodies used to identify Sars-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein, Membrane (M) protein, Envelope (E) protein and spike (S) protein in human tissue should be addressed. From where/what was the antigenic material obtained originally and how was the sample isolated, purified, sequenced and shown to be the causal agent for production of disease with subsequent formation of specific antibodies? </p><p><strong>Concluding Remarks and Possible Additional Tests:</strong></p><p>It is theoretically possible that despite multiple independent investigators not finding any mRNA, DNA or protein material in vials of CV19 &#8220;vaccine&#8221; contents they analyzed, some may contain them. <strong>It is conceivable </strong>(but judged unlikely)<strong> that the &#8220;spike protein&#8221; issue is just as described by authorities even though virtually nothing else has been with respect to the alleged pandemic of 2020</strong>. If the claims about the alleged Sars-CoV-2 &#8220;spike protein&#8221; are true, it should be very easy for a protein chemist to outline how it was first discovered, including the details involved in identifying it. On the chance that no such evidence will be produced and placed in a comment, another option might be the following:</p><p>Tissue samples could be collected from living or deceased [individuals in whom &#8220;spike protein&#8221; was allegedly found]<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-30" href="#footnote-30" target="_self">30</a> (for example from pathologists who performed the kind of antigen/antibody assays the late Arne Burchardt MD described)<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-31" href="#footnote-31" target="_self">31</a> and subject them to intensive protein identification testing using the kind of techniques described in endnote 13. A detailed biochemical analysis of the amino acid sequences in the alleged &#8220;spike protein&#8221; samples could be produced which would be used to identify the possible RNA code sequences that could be capable of generating that string of amino acids and respective S- protein. TEM/SEM and or X-ray crystallography<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-32" href="#footnote-32" target="_self">32</a> should be available, by which the alleged &#8220;spike protein&#8221; samples would be imaged. The primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of the alleged &#8220;spike protein&#8221; specimens could then be delineated. Many papers report detailed information about the size, weight, shape, amino acid sequence etc. of &#8220;spike protein&#8221; for comparison with the samples of alleged &#8220;spike protein&#8221; obtained from autopsies. Either these would match the results obtained by biochemical testing and three-dimensional images of the samples or they would not. If such evidence already exists in the public domain, it would be extremely helpful to have access to it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.</p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://akajshannon.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share aka&#8217;s Substack&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/akajshannon.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share aka&#8217;s Substack</span></a></p><p></p><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-1" href="#footnote-anchor-1" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">1</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>Science, technology, engineering and math.

The instructions found in nuclear DNA, are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) which passes out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm where ribosomes assemble amino acids into proteins in the specific order called for by the RNA sequence. This means that DNA is used as a template in the protein synthesis process. Each amino acid is coded for by a three-letter codon e.g., CAT (cytosine, adenine and thymine) or in the case of RNA, uracil is substituted for thymine, e.g. CAU). Three types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis, (messenger, transfer and ribosomal). The three main processes involved in protein synthesis are first, <strong>transcription,</strong> where DNA is transcribed into mRNA. The second is <strong>translation</strong>, which proceeds after transcription (the precise sequence of nucleotides in mRNA provides the code for a specific sequence of amino acids to be used in assembling a protein, utilizing transfer RNA [tRNA] and ribosomes). Third is <strong>assembly</strong> of individual amino acids into proteins, (ribosomal RNA [rRNA] forms the anatomic and functional core of the ribosome and is integral to the translation process).</p></div></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-19" href="#footnote-anchor-19" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">19</a><div class="footnote-content"><p><strong>Virtually every organ system in the human body has been negatively affected by CV19 injections.</strong> A myriad of acute and chronic illnesses have resulted, in addition to never-before-seen <strong>[turbo-cancers]<a href="/__u/akajshannon.substack.com/p/complications-after-covid-19-vaccination#footnote-1-163728140">1</a></strong><sup> </sup>(advanced stage at the time of diagnosis and extremely fast growing/killing, even in the young).
