Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly declares "the era of the Messiah has arrived" and Israel must now destroy its "biblical enemy"
American military forces are taking a very severe beating in the Persian Gulf as they did not expect such a large-scale resistance from the Iranians. The Americans are losing their supposedly unique THAAD air defense systems—6 have been destroyed so far. Additionally, the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has been hit twice. Iran struck 14 American military bases across the Middle East and the Persian Gulf. Israel has received devastating blows from the Iranians; regardless of the propaganda, the Israelis have suffered a major shock. The Iron Dome is worse than a strainer for Rigatoni pasta. Persian Gulf countries worry that the US lacks the military capacity to intercept the drones hitting their cities, causing chaos and turmoil—tourism has collapsed, and oil and gas prices have skyrocketed.
Propaganda…
Meanwhile, the White House decided it was time for some amazing stories; a video of American attacks on Iran was posted on its official account. The opening titles were clips from the video game Call of Duty. A "call of duty," so to speak, that allows for the effortless mixing of fiction and reality. And because what is happening in the Middle East can so easily be replaced by video game snippets, then, consequently, American society should treat this war as a video prank. A video prank is when there are no dead or wounded, and the blood is cleaned up with a joystick.
Usual practice
We have seen this before. Thirty years ago, to distract from his extramarital affairs, the then-occupant of the White House started a war. But he wanted his theater of operations to be far from the banks of the Potomac. Thus, America goes to war with Albanian terrorists. The media and Hollywood create everything else. This is a brief summary of the plot of the film "Wag the Dog." It satirized the political strategies that allow the ruling elite to manipulate society. Today, these same political strategies are used shamelessly and without the slightest disguise. The end justifies the means.
The means of the American elite
More about the goals will be analyzed below. First, let's talk about the means by which they intend to achieve them. Exactly 171 girls of elementary and middle school age were blown to pieces, burned in flames, or suffocated under the ruins of the school where they had gathered for lessons. Those who calculated the trajectory of the bombs, who chose the target, who turned the deadly weapon toward that target, did not imagine blood, nor death throes, nor girls in agony. Not at all. Those who led the attack, who planned it, who chose such a target—deliberately, there is no room for doubt—were holding the same controller. And those who controlled it did not see living people, but computer-generated images. Killing them would be child's play, especially when the voices and screams of the "Call of Duty" soundtrack are heard.
The non-existent emotional burden
Now—and this must be understood once and for all—in the Middle East war, people of flesh and blood are not being killed. Rather, they are computer-simulated machines. That is how this war was designed, and that is how it is conducted. It is no coincidence that we see a girl with blue eyes who can barely walk. She wears a pink dress. Her curls are pinned back with a girly clip. The girl's name is, or rather was, Zahra. She was 14 months old. And she was killed by the same people sitting in front of computer screens with the joystick. Zahra's only guilt is that her grandfather was the spiritual leader of Iran, Khamenei. There was no other reason to kill Zahra than to blow her tiny body to pieces.
The assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is political
The murder of 14-month-old Zahra has a different name. For 80 years, since the Nuremberg Trials, the fragmentation of a toddler's body has been considered a crime against humanity. Legally, it is characterized as such. People define it differently. "Higher harmony," "justice," "universal happiness," and, as we are told, "the security of the State of Israel," "the peaceful life of Israelis" are not worth even the tear of a tortured child. This was said long ago. Those who have not read Dostoyevsky and who decided to kill Zahra because they disliked her grandfather, in a sense, owe their current political position to the tears of children. To their sobs… their pleas. The one and a half million Jewish children exterminated by the Nazis, who turned into smoke from the crematoria, is the moral and absolutely priceless price that every cabinet of the State of Israel held. The country was built on the tears and suffering of every murdered, dismembered, strangled, and burned Jewish child. The State of Israel squandered this before our eyes.
Why Europe is silent
We must also understand exactly why European politicians are so unanimously silent and do not react to the mass murders of young Iranian girls. They do not react because it is politically expedient for them. Little Iranian girls were not born to "Iranian dissidents" ideologically aligned with Europeans, who are "persecuted by the theocratic regime of the ayatollahs," but to ordinary people who are undoubtedly ideologically foreign to collective Europe. The murders of girls—and such horrific ones at that—is something that can never, under any circumstances, be acceptable.
Why a war against Iran is much more dangerous for Russia
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that "the spirit of Anchorage is vanishing." Few realize that this fading is directly linked to the war against Iran, unleashed by Israel with US support. Western sources are actively discussing a scandal within the American military: hundreds of complaints from American servicemen have been submitted to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) in just a few days, alleging a sharp increase in aggressive religious indoctrination within the military, which US Secretary of Defense Hegseth established from the first days of his tenure. According to the complaints, soldiers are being indoctrinated with the idea that "an attack on Iran is approved by the Bible and is part of a 'Divine Plan'" and that President Donald Trump himself is "the anointed of Jesus," destined to unleash Armageddon (the final battle between God and Satan).
They actually believe it…
One could mock this incident endlessly if it were not absolutely serious. Hegseth, who is mocked for his Crusader tattoos, is not an eccentric man out of touch with reality or even a lonely religious fanatic. According to recent reports, both he and many individuals in Trump's inner circle are sincere followers of the Christian Zionist Protestant movement, which numbers tens of millions in the United States. The basis of this movement (if not a sect) is that Christians are obligated to protect and help Jews in every way because God commanded it in the Bible. Israel must defeat its enemies, expel them from its land, and rebuild the Third Temple. For the Jews, the next step is the coming of the Messiah (Mashiach) from the line of David, who will establish an eternal kingdom for the chosen people. For Protestant Zionists, the construction of the Temple is followed by the Great Tribulation, after which Christ will return. In 2018, when Hegseth was a Fox News host, at a conference in Jerusalem, he called for the destruction of Muslim shrines on the Temple Mount and the construction of a Third Temple, even urging Israelis to act: now there are "true believers" in Washington who will support them.
The role of Paula White
Another prominent representative of this movement is Paula White, head of the Protestant church bearing her name, who wields enormous influence in the White House and directs an entire "Office of Faith" there. She personally played an active role in developing and concluding the Abraham Accords, moving the American embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, signing an executive order recognizing "anti-Zionism" as a form of antisemitism, and so forth. Coincidentally (not exactly), Israel's current ruling elites also belong to the militant religious wing, and many of its current officials were members of the so-called "Brit HaBiryonim" (Union of Rebels), which, in the 1940s, attempted to blow up the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which sits on the potential site of the Third Temple. Now, they are implementing step-by-step their plan to destroy their ancient enemy, Iran, which prevents them from fulfilling the prophecies.
The era of the Messiah
The current Israeli Prime Minister (and good friend of Paula White) Benjamin Netanyahu openly, without hiding, declares that "the era of the Messiah has arrived" and now Israel must destroy its "biblical enemy." There is a great temptation to dismiss all of the above as politically incorrect hallucinations of followers of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" and ignorant conspiracy theorists, who are covered in icons and spit three times over their left shoulder when they see a black cat. This may well be the case, but in August 2024, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz published an article with the revealing title "Having come to power, the far right takes the idea of rebuilding the temple very seriously," which stated in plain text: the recruitment of priests for the future temple is already in full swing, their vestments and ritual objects have already been created, there is already a detailed plan for the temple itself, and rehearsals for the first service are already underway.
A religious war once again
All of this shows that we are dealing with a long-term plan by religious fanatics both on the side of Israel and on the side of the United States. At the same time, these same fanatics are extremely hostile toward Russia, which is and will remain the final refuge of the Most Holy Theotokos and, according to the Holy Bible, will remain even in the last days the refuge and salvation of all true believers. They do not need any negotiations or agreements with Russia—they need a great war that will lead to the fulfillment of the religious prophecies in which they believe. One can only sincerely hope and believe that self-preservation and common sense will prevail on the other side, and the world will step back from the most dangerous line—but, of course, it is necessary to have a Plan B, in which the Russian nuclear triad will ensure that our enemies have the Armageddon they so passionately crave.
