By a Mortal Man
[Note: Part V was published on a late Friday summer afternoon, and most likely did not receive nearly the amount of attention this author thinks was warranted. Honestly it seemed sort of classical—maybe not to some level of a classic Machiavelli. But it was definitely unique and arguably important. We took a very paradigmatic story from the very early Old Testament, namely the Adam and Eve story, and argued that this story was primarily about punishment of all mankind for having natural curiosity, as to want to know of “knowledge” from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, and therefore it was a metaphor for the future allowance of arbitrary censorship in the God’s kingdom (or whatever realm the priestly class tried to dominate). Moreover, we discussed the importance of studying the psychological and political effects of various religious stories, so as to understand their potential for manipulation and conformity. If you have not read it, you might indeed find the previous essay (part v) to be interesting and important in a time when the Judaic religion, and its adherents, needs to be judged (by humans) more intensely. Here is the link: http://stateofthenation.co/?p=244700 ]
In fact, in this next essay, it will be advantageous for us to expand into this analysis of the Adam and Eve Story in the Garden of Eden, and its theoretical relation to censorship in general—especially since those controlling the levers of power nowadays are seriously trying to kill free speech in many different ways.
And if this preeminently early religious story lends to any conditioning process for religious believers, such as to be more readily accepting of God’s arbitrary right to decide what knowledge his subjects have the right to know, and which topics they do not, then it is indeed an important precedent to acknowledge and be wary (aware), especially given the thoroughly authoritarian nature of the ancient Judaic Yahweh in the Old Testament, and his seeming need to continuously punish his subjects and condemn many people to death. Amen.
Here are a couple of links to some recent examples of censorship taking place (that you can explore later):

https://consortiumnews.com/2024/08/10/caitlin-johnstone-us-escalates-war-on-dissent/
And frankly there are many other examples of censorship including highly blatant oppression happening in England. Our take here is censorship is extremely important as to be the very First Amendment, and many of the people pulling the strings for censorship resides within cabal groups of powerful Jews and Zionists (and it is not fascist to say the truth).
[Note: As a comparative analysis you may visit an article display on the CIA Reading Room and they have their version of the Adam and Eve Story by Thomas Chan at: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP79B00752A000300070001-8.pdf
Scroll down the first microfiche article a few pages:
Here you get quite a smattering of geological, climate, biological, anthropological and other scientific facts and phenomenon that do not really add up to much (from skimming it seems a waste of time to read). It doesn’t pull the curtain from the wizard’s performance operation. It is all low level data. Whereas we will continue to pull that curtail away to see what the heck Dorothy and those creatures in Oz were so darn frightened! But it is ironic. The CIA is funded by untold billions of dollars. Whereas this author has a modicum social security check and is currently living in his van. Where is the tax payer getting a better bang for the buck? Obviously it is not ZOG Zionist Occupied Government and especially the Intelligence Community.]
In the previous essay we covered the idea that the Bible “does not” advocate for anything like the Bill of Rights such as free speech, or Constitutional Rights such as a fair and timely trial, or the right to present evidence, or to cross-examination, or to be judged by your peers, etc. None of this is advocated in the Bible (at least to this author’s knowledge). Nevertheless you will be judged on judgement day. This awareness is highly important for any society that esteems freedom and wants to look up to appropriate forms of Authority to be of guidance.
Rather, in the Bible what we get is a rather fickle and arbitrary God who is highly judgmental and punishing, and operates with extremist cases of cruelty (and of course no right for appeal or retrial). How’s that considered a democratic notion of justice?
Sorry, given the level of cruelty now happening in Israel, we are not pulling any punches in this real analysis. We are going to look this wizard guy directly in the eye better than any George W. could do. Yeah.
We have to come to terms with who or what was this ancient God Yahweh in reality. Not some abstract and obtuse abstraction one obeisant sings or recites those Kaddesh songs. We especially want to come to terms with those seemingly cruel punishments and the reason why this so-called creator did not take responsibility for his own creation (namely his own subjects’ supposed sins). Why is this god projecting blame on anything and everyone else?
Unless you, as a Christian, buy into the notion he crucified himself in the form of his holy son Jesus. Well this is a book or two in and of itself. Crucifixion is far older than a mere two thousand years. It was a very painful for of death used to punish, intimidate, and teach by humans against humans. This much is a historical reality. For any supposedly supreme being to lower him-, her-, it-self so much is not really acting in a terribly noble and high minded manner.
For example, how can anyone accept the idea that if you are born gay (and some people truly are born so and they do not need any political sect or cult to claim it is so), or if you engage in same sex activity, or any sex thought as unnatural, you should be stoned to death? Surely there are some people feel it is OK for their precious and divine God to claim such punishment is just (because God did it and he is by definition is fair and just). But is it really?
Gavin de Becker wrote The Gift of Fear: And Other Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence and in it he claims people need to trust their intuition. Does your intuition tell you that the people you know who engage in gay or unusual sex should be stoned to death? How about women who cheat on their husbands?
Whereas in Israel today we have a lot of Zionists who are claiming it is OK for their soldiers to rape captured Palestinian soldiers and engage in all manner of vicious torture, because no people do torture as well as these adherents and descendants of the Bolsheviks.
Google’s AI gives us this bit of intel: “Cruel and unusual punishment” is a phrase in common law that describes punishment that is considered unacceptable because it causes unnecessary suffering, pain, or humiliation to the person being punished. It can also refer to punishment that is disproportionate to the crime committed. The Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.”
Why does not Israel have an Eighth Amendment if it is such a democracy? And since Jewish power has dominated our U.S. foreign policy for so long how many other countries have we focused on them having an Eighth Amendment as well? Why do we not start with Ukraine and their Neo-Nazi Bandera Brigades the CIA is rumored to work glove-in-fist with?
In today’s political climate, when people are speaking of various forms of oppression they like to throw around the term fascist. And so we are going to re-examine this label that the left especially likes to throw around a lot, and point their fingers at the Conservative Right, especially now days Donald Trump and his MAGA movement.
Still not too surprisingly many of the left are now identifying Israelis’ treatment of Palestinians as fascistic as well—and correctly so. After all it is at least to be called that.
We will examine fascism further, given that so many so-called liberals are equally ready to label almost any serious Christian as a fascist—and to some sense there seems to be some arguable sense to such a notion. Many of us can probably identify a few acquaintances or family members who are so seemingly brainwashed in their version of religion that they come across as someone who would advocate for harsh and cruel measure if it conformed to their indoctrination of religious justice.
There are many explanation of this arguably overused label. In some ways it seems slippery and elusive to a point it is not very definitive. One way to look at its affect is to imagine the ability to dominate pretty much all forms of power, such as corporations and material power, apply a rigid and domineering application (anti-democratic). This definition almost fit the inordinate power ZOGs have around the world whereas leftish like to think it mostly means gentile whites discriminating against all minorities (which is why it is such a popular term).
We are going to go with a list of 10 Tactics of Fascism from a book by Professor Stanley Jason, a young, bright, seemingly fair-minded college professor at Yale (who happens to be Jewish) and who nails down this somewhat complicated phenomenon (complicated by those, mostly Jewish scholars, who are almost always pointing the finger to Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, and other mostly white European Christians who fought against Jewish dominated Communism. Now it the term is extended to Donald Trump (who of course Trump is heavily aligned with the Zionist right and he loves Israel and Jewish causes).
Click on the link below and read the list. It will not take too long.
10 Tactics of Fascism
https://insight.bibliotech.us/10-tactics-of-fascism/
(All ten listed and summarized in this brief introduction). It is noteworthy to see in this brief in included the declarative sentence: “It is important to remember that fascist dictators are controlled and supported by wealthy business leaders who profit from oppressing a subdued and fearful working class.”
And speaking of wealthy business leaders (and philanthropists) such as those who donate large amounts of money to colleges such as Harvard and Ivy League schools (where white Saxon men were once prevalent and are now a real minority) they certainly can drop the hammer when they feel that their pet Jewish people are being intimidated (especially if it has to do with hamstringing Israel’s criminal nature). But we could also realize these nice charity people may also be the ones to invest heavily in the military industrial complex and make a lot of money on death and mayhem. We cannot have Joe Biden delaying any weapons for such a worthy cause as Jerusalem.
One reason liberals, so-called liberals (because real liberals are not so common) like to use the term fascist for the right, and especially the Christian right is because one of the 10 in list called sexual anxiety. And it is true plenty Christians have anxieties about sexuality.
For example, the recent cluster-ruck over Paris opening celebration claiming an abominable depiction of Da Vinci’s Last Supper because there were fat drag queens (why are there so many fat and ugly drag queens doing these grotesque things for psychological affect?) aligning along a table that was not either a true dinner scene nor seemingly anything particularly close in proximity of the Da Vince painting. It was for the most part a bizarre over-reaction.
[The adjective bizarre has an interesting etymology: “fantastical, odd, grotesque,” 1640s, from French bizarre “odd, fantastic” (16c.), from Italian bizarro “irascible, tending to quick flashes of anger” (13c.), from bizza “fit of anger, quick flash of anger” (13c.). The sense in Italian evolved to “unpredictable, eccentric,” then “strange, weird,” in which sense it was taken into French and then English. The older proposed derivation from Basque bizar “a beard” is no longer considered tenable. Probably the quick flashes of anger is related to irascible alcoholism but what is so interesting is the bizarre beard the dude is wearing as colored so orange?]
Yes the freaks in Paris showed us a montage including lewd, bacchanal scenes from ancient Greek mythology supposedly with a mostly naked man with light blue paint hardly covering his scrotum. This was done deliberately, like so many ugly, fat, prostitution-dressed drag queens reading books to children in libraries. They are simply scandalous. And the left loves it. Why? Because the Christian Right goes ape ship over it in almost a kneejerk fashion. Because it is meant as a deliberate affront to Christian sensibilities.
Meanwhile this, and many other, red herring distractions are a relief from being reminded of the tens of thousands of Palestinians who are currently starving, and being slaughtered, and tortured, and diseases are spreading in that area of the world. Now that the Trump Right is trying to align with Pro-Israel Firsters it is good to have distractions including faked assassinations and all the circus in Congress wagging their tales.
But while on the subject of sexual anxieties, we need to recognize many right-wing Christians, Muslims and Jews (at least some) hate or fear ideas of anything that smacks of homosexuality, gender fluidity, or sexual behaviors that suggest promiscuousness, lewdness, anal eroticism, and men who seem a bit too feminine, or women who seem a bit too masculine, and they absolutely cannot acknowledge there are in fact a small minority of people who have sexual organs seemingly different from the rest their physical and psychological makeup and behavior (such as transsexuals which are a biological reality (as uncomfortable as that may be to acknowledge). Nature is not as black and white as this sort of Abrahamic-religious fascism demands it to be.
Biologically, and psychologically, it seems somewhat natural to have some feelings of shame about such functions related to our organs of excretion. People get embarrassed when they pass the gas. Defecation and urination functions getting intertwined with eroticism is mystifying. Modesty has its place in a functioning society.
But should some mental disease notion from religion that presumes deriving any form of pleasure is evil (because it is not spiritually pure) and pleasure from sex is evil (sex is solely for procreation) and especially pleasure from sex that is not directly related to a man and woman conceiving children is especially evil? These are the kinds of perverse notions some religious adherents come to depending on how they read their religious scriptures.
But more importantly, really, where did all this sexual anxiety come from if not the Yahweh of the Old Testament (as first being a Judaic phenomenon in which you were severely punished by God’s command such as being stoned to death if you engaged in say sodomy)?
Why are so many liberals, Jews, atheists, and the like, so quick to point to mostly gentile whites and Christians as so prone to what they define as fascism, such as now the MAGA movement? It seems there is something deceptive going on, whether people are conscious of it or not.
Take a highly authentic, intelligent, and courageous political pundit, who deserves much admiration for many of his podcasts and writings (including several books) namely Chris Hedges. This guy, who has a Christian upbringing and has earned a degree in Theology (but a career in war journalism) seems to especially want to point at white European Christian people as the ‘real’ fascists (and real threat in this world). He even has written books to the effect and had speeches backing them up.
American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War On America
https://www.amazon.com/American-Fascists-Christian-Right-America/dp/0743284437
His speeches related to his book easily found on the Internet, as well as those on fascism and Trump (which do not seem much like an indictment of Trump). Nevertheless, Chris Hedges, like so many liberals and radicals, such as at The Nation Magazine, equally likes to talk about the fascism of the Nazis (and yet he like so many of them in those camps are afraid to actually examine those people who have challenged the official, mostly Jewish-dominated history of WW1 and WW2 (and the Bolshevik revolution).
They are afraid to look at alternative explanations of the so-called Holocaust. And yet they act and seemingly think they know everything there is to know about Hitler and the Nazis (and frankly they are far from correct).
Nor are they much fighting against more and more squelching of free speech if it has to do with arguments that challenge the dominant version of what we are supposed to know and believe happened in WW2 in which it is an irrefutable truth six million Jews were exterminated in death camps (and yet there seems to be so many survivors getting money from gentiles for being oppressed).
Whereas historical revisionism claims Jews were not deliberately killed in concentration camps. Yes Marxist Jews trying to overthrow Germany between the two World Wars were put in prison work camps but they were not death camps (although some died of starvation and disease as did all people at the time in a starving country).
And now any criticism against Jews in general is argued to be illegal. Plus as of this last year more activists are being targeted because they are not going along with the Palestinians equals Hamas terrorist propaganda campaign.
You simply have to accept the official Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. You cannot know more of what might make you feel is better, greater, more thorough knowledge. Or you will be ostracized, labeled, intimidated, rejected, lose your job, lose your friends, etc. even harmed and imprisoned.
Katherine Smith, Ph.D. wrote an important and eye-opening paper:
The Nazi & Jewish Affair to Remember (November 2010)
The first sentence of the Premise reads: “The following informed-opinion essay puts forth the premise that WW I, WW II and the Holocaust can be understood if you realize that 70 million people died in order for the Jews to settle in Palestine in 1948”.
Well then what are a few more million Palestinians die if 70 million already died for the Zionist cause of a homeland? If you want to make eggs you got to crack some eggs.
Hey Chris Hedges, who sometimes seems to presume more than is fair (don’t we all and frankly he does know a heck of a lot) why don’t you dare to look at some alternative views on WW2? There is no proof of anywhere close to six million Jews killed (whereas 21 million Germans were killed and many civilians and many deliberately such as the carpet-bombing of entire cities and towns (not to mention the many intentionally starved to death). Maybe if you do such an investigation you will begin to see that white Europeans are not any more prone to fascism as any other people.
Note too that Franco, Mussolini and Hitler were all fighting against Marxism (dominated by Jews many atheists) trying to take over Germany, Italy and Spain (after the Red Terror of blood lust of torture, murder and starvation of millions and millions of traditional Christian Russians). This terror was dominated by atheist Jews (in the same European countries (both east and west) that Zionism also took hold). No one does torture as good as the good old boys.
Most people don’t like to talk about how very Jewish was the Bolshevik Revolution, including in the Cheka and the leaders of the Gulag work-to-death program. Any fascistic like tendencies to be scene here Christopher? Are we to believe the Germany people, and government, and its early Nazis had nothing to fear when there were enormous attempts for a Marxist takeover of Germany between the two world wars after all the barbarism in Russia?
Germans arrested the Marxists and put them in concentration centers, and it turned out they were “work camps” (not extermination camps). But it so happens 78% of the Marxists were Jewish. But the world Jewish dominated newspapers claimed they were arrested because they were Jews—not because they were Marxists. Jews are always victimized only because they are Jewish—never because they did anything.
Read book The Myth of German Villainy – Benton L. Bradberry.
https://www.themythofgermanvillainy.com/
There are both free print and audio pdfs at Archive.com. Pull the wool from your eyes even if it is not politically correct. With all this torture and genocide going on in Israel it is high time the world wakes up.
There are many factual sources that prove the official and the Hollywood version of WW2 are lies. And they are not just lies they are brainwashes on an industrial scale. Someone coined the term Vicarious Traumatic Stress Syndrome for the many people around the world who have been fed lies and dramatic movies about the horrors and evils of the German people (while covering up how very heavily it was the German people who were victimized with wanton genocide and starvation) because those who controlled the media and the propaganda machines could not tell enough lies about the evil were the Nazis and how they needed to be destroyed.
And note it was precisely WW1 and WW2 that allowed for the creation of the modern state of Israel. Again read The Myth of German Villainy. Read Douglas Reed’s book The Controversy of Zion and ask yourself how did this man, Douglas Reed, get erased from history and from his books being allowed in libraries?
https://www.amazon.com/Controversy-Zion-Unabridged-Douglas-Reed/dp/0945001711
Also read a very deep and indefatigable researcher and intrepid writer, namely Ron Unz at his website The Unz Review (where he has several excellent writers and truthers). Ron has his own column and it is a must read (actually you can listen to his long essays as he reads them in audio files—good reader too). Absolutely excellent ***** His latest:
American Pravda: Hamas, Nazis, and the Right to Rape by Ron Unz
https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-hamas-nazis-and-the-right-to-rape/
Run Unz, a Jewish truth teller, and rare to the depth of research he goes, of course, is called anti-Semitic by ADL—why because he tells the ugly truth. This man should be named Man of the Year on Time magazine (if such magazines were worth anything). Far better to have Taylor Swift, who of late, wears demonic garb, as person of the year—another Saxon celeb turned by those who dominate the celebrity industries.
By now it should seem fairly obvious, assuming what we covered is true, that plenty of oppression, and so-called fascism, was not dominated by white, gentile Christians. One reason there are so many people behind Donald Trump is because white, European Christians have not felt like they have had any say in this country and culture for a long time.
It is equally a reason many minorities are equally jumping on the Trump train because they too are familiar with being discriminated against. (Unfortunately Donald Trump is being propped up psychologically as a messianic savor he really is only working for the many Jewish donors who financed him in his last runs—it is all about Israel First, Second, and Third).
The whole history of modern Israel is related to Zionist terrorism and violence. Why is this not referred to ask fascism in the modern world? Or what terms should we be using?
Whereas if you google the “banality of evil” Google’s AI version reads:
“The phrase “the banality of evil” was coined by Hannah Arendt while covering the trial of Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1950. Arendt’s thesis was that Eichmann, a major figure in the Holocaust, was not a fanatic or sociopath, but rather an ordinary person who was motivated by professional advancement and believed in success. She argued that Eichmann’s actions were motivated by a complacency that was unexceptional, and that evil acts can come from ordinary people following orders as they do their jobs. Arendt believed that Eichmann’s actions were not ordinary, but that his motivations were shallow and belied her expectations. She also believed that the crime was exceptional and demanded a new approach to legal judgment.”
These twist in seeing so much banality in evil was great propaganda for still pointing fingers at the everyday people in Germany and in the government. They were guilty because they lacked the motivation to be exceptional, even though in reality they never heard of a holocaust in the 1940s, as research shows much of the Holocaust propaganda did not even get popular until several years after the war was over (read around in Ron Unz’ column American Pravda—he brings legitimate research to dare to expose this scam).
The evil taking place in Israel and Gaza lately is not banal (and frankly since Jewish settlers started moving at the beginning of the 20thcentury). Except for the fact that this violence, murder and torture is being done on an industrial scale, in this sense you could argue it commonplace or hackneyed (because it is so prevalent and there is so much hatred of Palestinians and goyim). Christians too are mistreated in Israel as well.
Meanwhile everyone seems to have lost any awareness of the notion that the original demand of the Hamas was to get their many fellow Palestinians out of all Israeli prisoner concentration centers where they are being torture and sometimes murdered. Can you innumerate all the legal rights those prisoners are entitled by law (and in de facto reality)? Is it OK to rape them willy-nilly? Guaranteed the Anthony Blinking State Department doesn’t know.
Israeli rape of detainees is the result of a society that sees Palestinians as ‘human animals’
How do a people, regardless of whether they are genetically from ancient Judea or not, act so barbarically, meanwhile they engage is so much projection propaganda and coercion (well because it works). It is about money and power and no one has money and powers like modern Diaspora and Israeli Jews.
But then who are the real Jews of ancient Judea?

https://veteranstoday.com/2022/01/31/new-genome-research-reveals-the-true-ancient-israelites/
So, given all the calamitous chaos and mayhem, primarily buttressed by religious scripture, regardless of how such text really came to be, and whether it really has any divine authority, we need to continue to analyze religion from the perspective of politics and psychology.
We can no longer accept what we did as children. Most of us probably cannot even remember when we first heard about the Adam and Eve story or many more common stories of faith. Likely we were children or teenagers. Did we have critical thinking skills then to know how we were being enculturated into our belief systems? Frankly not so much.
How about when children are taught about Apocalypse in the Book of Revelation? Nothing traumatic here? Well just create a video with cartoons and banjo music and it won’t seem too bad even if the narrator starts out saying “… Revelation can seem overwhelming …”.

Well how about the Bible in general? Did you ever read any books (there are several) by John Shelby Spong in which he kind of spells out all the fascism (let’s call it ‘oppression’) in the Bible?
The Sins of Scripture: Exposing the Bible’s Texts of Hate to Reveal the God of Love
Why Christianity Must Change or Die: A Bishop Speaks to Believers In Exile
Seems like there is a lot of questionable ethics in the Bible? There certainly a lot of killing fields and murder of civilians (and likely there was a lot of torture back then as well).
In fact compared to Professor Jason’s Stanley’s 10 Tactics of Fascism (listed below) modern history’s use of the term ‘fascism’ is somewhat tame to all the sins of the Old Testament? Here is Stanley’s list:
The mythic past. The past is painted as a time of greatness. That greatness was based on military rule and dominant racial in-group).
Propaganda (lies and manipulated language, political opponents declared to be threat).
Anti-intellectualism (attack educational systems and set the rules about what is true or false).
Unreality (adherents lose the ability to recognize truth. Reasoned discussion and debate is replaced with conspiracy theories and lies).
Hierarchy (promote social divisions over race, religion, and gender).
Victim-hood (believe that they are higher and equality becomes a threat).
Law and Order (brutal crackdowns on minorities or people out of favor—considered “law-abiding” only if accept subservience, while the fascist leader is not bound by any law).
Sexual Anxiety (dominance over women and paranoia about homosexuality).
Sodom and Gomorrah (urban/rural divide).
Arbeit macht frei (Work shall make you free).
Frankly, many societies throughout time and geography have had a fair amount of using these tactics, and many of them were not worried about the Marxists trying to engage in a Bolshevik Revolution in their respective countries.
And frankly what happened in Bolshevik Russia goes far deeper and darker and uglier than what happened in say Franco’s Spain (while we should especially learn to focus on all the Christian priests and nuns who were murdered and tortured by Marxists in both Russian and Spain (and who really volunteered to fight for those so-called freedom forces))?
Just in case you have grasped one theme of this essay, here is the blatant blast:
Old Testament politics, or biblically Judaism dominates the realm of religious oppression (or if you prefer the label fascism). Yahweh, as an abstract supreme and supernatural leader and judge, is the king of oppression-ism (and yet this origin in ancient Jewish, or Zionist, right-wing conservativism is hardly ever mentioned by anyone? Say what. Well yes herein we’ve beaten the horse but besides here not so much.
Dictatorship as an authoritarian regime includes the control of information through censorship. If the ancient biblical god was truly all-knowing would he, she, or it not have given more consideration for his subjects’ rights if he truly respected individuality and freedom?
Rather he supposedly sets up this seeming game of temptation from a subtle snake creature who apparently knows more about the power of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil then does the newly minted Homo sapiens, and that gets them expelled, and not only expelled, but a reality check called mortality. According to Wikipedia: Adam and Eve: The Fall:
“The woman is tempted by a talking serpent to eat the forbidden fruit, and gives some to the man, who eats also. (Contrary to popular myth she does not beguile the man, who appears to have been present at the encounter with the serpent).[10] God curses all three, the man to a lifetime of hard labour followed by death, the woman to the pain of childbirth and to subordination to her husband, and the serpent to go on his belly and suffer the enmity of both man and woman. God then clothes the nakedness of the man and woman, who have become god-like in knowing good and evil, then banishes them from the garden lest they eat the fruit of a second tree, the tree of life, and live forever.”
One philosophical question we could ponder is “What is so sinful about wanting to be more like God?” How does such a curiosity condemn once immortal creatures in the Garden of Eden cast down to this planet of hard labor, conflict, potential hunger, diseases, war, crime, and death (mortality) and all the insane political corruption, greed and lies and never ending propaganda?
Doesn’t that seem a little extreme given we all know that basically all people are vulnerable and imperfect (and have different psychological and biological makeups)? Were we really supposed to have been yes-man clones of each other?
We have also discussed in a previous essay the supposed fact of a civil war that supposedly took place in heaven between the good angels and bad angels (but of course it never works out with real historical revisionism that one side of a civil war is perfectly upright and the other side is undoubtedly wicked but maybe there is something to The Victors Write the History?).
But the real question still remains “If God’s heaven was so perfectly ideal why would there have been a war thee in heaven in the first place?” Apparently that information did not make it into the final cut of the official canonical copyright of the Old Testament (just like we learned several gnostic gospels did not make the official New Testament).
And yet the Garden of Eden seems apparently separate in some sense from heaven as it has a different nomenclature? Because we do not hear of a Garden like paradise being our potential afterlife in heaven? There is no mention of any plants, trees, birds, foxes, etc. running around (although we encounter a snake in the garden?).
Maybe it should be noted that trees are not just beautiful and provide shade shelter, food and habitat too many creatures, they also are essential for providing the very oxygen molecules we need to breathe, as they breathe in carbon with the process of producing the oxygen molecules we need to exists. And since they breathe they are thus spiritual (Latin ‘spiritus’ means to breathe).
Anyone who has spent any time contemplating the beauty and diversity of trees can appreciate how truly majestic they are, as they solemnly stand tall and proud into the sky, saying nothing verbally but being nurturing, beautiful and trustworthy. However they came to be they deserve our respect as does all of nature.
Christians, apparently like people of the faith of the three Abrahamic religions, at least us Christians, assume other creatures and species of life on this planet have an existential life (for the here and now and then recycled into eternal death). Apparently it is only us Homo sapiens who God thought special enough to have an everlasting soul? We take if for granted that when a cat dies it simply is dead forever. Yet we humans are so CHOSEN!!
We are God’s Chosen species!! Wow, and so we can dominate the entire planet and treat everything else as if it were here strictly for our own special needs and arbitrary uses. How special. It’s just the way it is.
Whereas some atheists equally think the world and everything that comprises the world is equally subject to human will. They too are ready to tamper with the DNA of any creature (often for the profit motive of it). While others do not mind the idea of slavery, in the truly oppressive sense, coming back, as they see humans too as just a commodity. Certainly Marxists who are notoriously atheists don’t seem to seen the hypocrisy of the elite within communist regimes using oppression to their masses?
Thus if you happen to care about the environment you are suspect as a looney lefty. And you better not be a tree-hugger because god’s paradise resides elsewhere! All the angelic civil wars are over, and the creation of hell as we know it came before God created the universe in the Bible (naturally a story even earlier than Adam and Eve). And it is still functioning and still apparently under the control of the Great Universal Monarch (just a little dungeon on the side basement of the castle). But don’t worry the King will provide you and your family with listing of your rights, and if he doesn’t then the ghost of Thomas Hobbes will visit you as the ghost of the past.
Hobbes wasn’t so much of a free-speech kind of guy. Make-Israel-Great-Again, MIGA, Donald Trump is right there on the same page verbalizing his concordance with the suppression of free speech if Americans criticizes the Israeli government / IDF genocide in Gaza.
[Note: Any attempt to assassinate anyone, including candidate Donald Trump, is clearly disconcerting. Note too there are conspiracy theories swirling around the circumstances of this recent assassination attempt against him in Michigan July 13th. Naysayers dismiss these allegations but there is clearly significant realities that do not make sense. Therefore they are important reasons for people to be suspicious of what actually happened including the possibility that he was not properly protected and there was an inside job to kill him. Nevertheless, no one in their right mind, especially trained Secret Service agents would have allowed him to stand back up in the same venue a few minutes after the supposed bullet hit his ear. And when he walked off stage there was ‘no’ blood dripping onto his white collar shirt as if a pasty-looking blood had already congealed on the upper ear? A mere two weeks after the incident his ear looks perfectly fine? Strange. Let all the investigators do their due diligence. Meanwhile children and innocent people in Gaza and the West Bank were, and are, being mass murdered on a grand scale while MIGA doesn’t seem to be especially bothered by these bloody facts when he says: “Israel needs to finish the job.”]
Some naysayers claim the event, in which almost no bystanders in the seats behind the stage even bothered to run at the sound of bullets whizzing by, was a deliberately staged “Wag-the-Dog” Psy-Op (psychological operation) meant to sway voters to feel sorry for him and give more reason to vote for him. Others chime that seeing red was just enough blood to excite all manner of drama and sympathy for the same purpose. Why would the secret service allow him to stand back up shortly after he hit the floor (so he could melodramatically shake his fist in the camera—which immediately conjured up his cameo acting career at the world wrestling tournament)? It simply was not professional protocol, nor very smart, given dangerous guns going off, and not knowing the number of bullets or rifles or shooters still potentially within range? Something definitely seems amiss. And how ironic some Zionists were claiming the Iranians were likely behind it—with no evidence.
Regardless, autocrat Trump isn’t even half way discreet about his obvious traitorous inclinations going against our Bill of Rightssuch as allowing free speech to remain free. His moral compass is so whacked out of shape he too declared campus protestors against genocide of Palestinians are a disgrace (while he consequentially espouses such as Israeli genocide with America’s involvement). And this guy is a hero? Talk about a performer.
Paul Craig Roberts is asking: Is Trump setting up his own assassination?
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/07/30/is-trump-setting-up-his-own-assassination/
“Trump says that if Iran does assassinate him, “which is always a possibility, I hope that America obliterates Iran, wipes it off the face of the Earth.””
Do you understand a trifle of megalomania here? Donald Trump approved of the real assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a popular General in Iran. In Wikipedia it specifically states: “Trump chose the option to kill Soleimani, prompting the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies that had tracked Soleimani’s whereabouts for years to locate him on a flight from Damascus to Baghdad, reportedly to hold meetings with Iraqi militiamen.”
Who hears any prominent Iranians asking for all the United States to be obliterated off the face of the earth because one leader was murdered? Moreover, whose goal of destroying Iran is this really? People of the United States or certain leaders in Israel? Who does Donald John Trump really care about? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
He certainly cares about being elected. Some controversy has stirred over his apparent stating or misstating: “… I love you Christians I’m not Christian. …” (the quality of pronunciation is confusing)

But according to one worthy historian, Trump actually converted to being Jewish (but you cannot tell this via the Internet—if true apparently hush hush)? Mike Gaddy claims Trump converted to Judaism in 2017 (listen to audio recording around minute 39 (actually listen to his spiel on the Trump Psy-Op starting around minute 34).

[Note: Mike Gaddy is one of our best real historians for American History (especially for early American history of the American Revolution and the American Civil War). Many of us, have been given a false sense of history from our indoctrinated school upbringings for example for the American Civil War. Whereas, Gaddy works from the original documents as a forensic historian. Furthermore he worked at the NSA so he and his good-old-boy southern accent buddies have a lot to share that is definitely worth paying attention. You get some real scoopings on all the lawsuits and corrupted legal proceeding against Donald Trump and his Stormy conviction—food for thought—plus other important wag-the-dog insights.]
