212B. Forever Religious Wars [Update: ShoeOnHead]
Religions are systems of control, which I am a proponent of. When these systems conflict, they can trigger wars. I explain how this is happening right now, and how we could prevent this in the future.
[28-03-2026: ShoeOnHead, a Christian, has weighed in on explaining the evangelical Christian view on “The Third Temple” that I talk about here. She’s better at explaining that part, and of course is much more charismatic]
Religions stress me out, because they’ve been weaponized against me my whole life. So when I set out to explain the religious conflicts around the current Gulf War, I became so stressed that I became ill. I didn’t feel qualified to do this. But as I continued to focus my full attention on this topic, I realized I am qualified. Maybe more than I give myself credit for.
It isn’t sufficient for me to explain how the major religions are clashing, and how they have continued to do so for over a thousand years. We need to go beyond understanding to a place where solutions can be formulated. Understanding, modifying, and inventing systems is what I do.
If you look at me as a computer, maybe I was born with extra CPU speed. But the real difference between me and “normal” people is that I have a LOT more RAM. Maybe orders of magnitude more functional RAM. This doesn’t show up on normal IQ tests. It allows me to hold a lot more elements in memory at once and solve more complex questions than I should be able to.
So I don’t gravitate towards games where I have to think faster than someone else. I gravitate towards games that require me to think BIGGER than other people, like massive economic simulations such as EVE Online. As I’ve gotten older I’ve begun to see religions as systems of control, and I’ve written some papers on how systems of control can be a good thing. We naturally recoil from the word “control”, and I address this in my papers on the subject.
I approach this difficult social control in the following two papers:
It is from this lens that I will tackle the religious conflict in the Gulf, which has gone on for more than a thousand years before I was born, and will take a lot less than a thousand years to create our extinction as a species if no one has the courage and ability to intervene.
So here I am using my [un?]natural talents to assist us. I am not here to challenge the right of any religion to exist. I am not here to tell people they do not have the right to follow the ideology of their choice. Perhaps I’m here to help people understand the rules and consequences of these choices so that they can successfully navigate modern society while still adhering to ideologies that are thousands of years old and in need of a tune up.
Applying my Skills to Buddhism
In Western religion my unusual abilities are seen as a sign of Demonic Possession, and I’ve literally had Catholic priests attempt to murder me in my sleep. Repeatedly. This makes assisting this religion stressful for me because I have trauma.
In Buddhism, I’m seen as something Benevolent that has been reincarnated. This makes learning and ultimately assisting Buddhism much easier. I break down the rules (“Precepts”) of Buddhism to an atomic level to understand their context, not their content. Why were they written? What were they intended to regulate? This is sort of like reading the numbers inside The Matrix, something I’m good at.
For regular people, it’s just too much information. They would get the proverbial “nose bleed”. Just like how for me, I can suffer from overstimulation when I’m trying to Listen in a loud environment and it can become overwhelming, rendering me useless. Different tools/people for different jobs. I’m not better, just different. But since people like me are rare, and hunted to near extinction, our roles go unfilled while “normal” roles go overpopulated.
I am sometimes invited to spaces by monks, where non-monks are not permitted. There I talk about how Buddhism works, and doesn’t work. I’m not treated as Sacrilegious, and monks are exceptionally good at Listening. Buddhism was written down 2500 years ago. It worked exceptionally well back then. But as the world changed, the Words didn’t always match the changes in Default Reality.
It is the job of the clergy of all religions to interpret their writings and educate the followers. This job gets harder with every passing year as the world changes and the Words don’t. Clergy is rarely allowed to “correct/update” the Writings, because the Writings typically didn’t leave instructions on how to do this. This applies to all religions.
Recently one of the top 5 ranked monks in Australia came up to me and gave me a big long hug. I’m not used to seeing monks of any rank do this in public. There were like 800 people watching. We haven’t talked much about what I do, but monks Listen on a different level, just like I do. So there seems to be a quiet consent and support for what I’m up to. Perhaps this is a Fated Path for me, and that Path is seen as benevolent, not a threat to the system.
The three major religions warring in the Gulf have been at this a long time. They all contain aggressive Words in their Writings, which no doubt were essential to survival when they were written. I’m not judging. Well, I’m not judging if they were appropriate when they were written. That was thousands of years ago and I trust those Words were spread because they gave people Purpose.
I’m not attempting to delve Deep into these religions, certainly not as Deep as I do with Buddhism. I suspect if I tried to do this without consent, I would be at risk. And I doubt I would get consent to do this. I’m not complaining about this situation, just trying to see how I can help without offending people.
The Book of Joshua and “Greater Israel”
The Old Testament has a robust section called “The Book of Joshua”. Many scholars consider the text problematic, and you can number me one of those. Except, you could fairly point out that I’m not a Hebrew scholar and you would be right. But what I don’t need to argue is that this text gives detailed instructions on how a genocide was “ordered by God” against all non Jews. This included even children and animals.
I do realize there are reasons for genocide. I’m not naïve. Eliminating economic, political, and militaristic rivals can make life in the future much easier. Even children can grow up to be future rivals. This is why genocide exists. In games we model this all the time. The “Win state” in games is often 100% elimination of all “enemies”.
If times are so hard that survival is seriously in doubt, then the pressure to engage in genocide could become intense. I’m not going to second guess the conditions in 1406 BC. It’s entirely possible that genocide made sense to the Jews in that era, and it became part of their religion. Since they made a big deal of the Holocaust, it seems to me that modern day Jews understand at least the basics of right and wrong, and that genocide is bad. At least if the targets are Jews.
I also recognize that no religion is a monolith, and this is especially true for Jews worldwide. What I mean here is that not all Jews think alike. Some of the most intensely passionate protestors against genocide are Jews, and they are getting clubbed, arrested, and prosecuted for protesting these atrocities.
One thing about Jewish culture that I really admire is their ability to plan and prepare, decades in advance. Almost no price is too high to pay if they get what they want in the end. I can be this way myself, and you absolutely want this trait in an ally. No one takes conflict with Jews lightly for this reason.
This also allows a small Jewish minority (and here I’m referring to Zionists) to carefully make plans to take the reins of power to be able to override the interests of the greater Jewish community. We see this exact pattern also with some of the more intensely passionate Christians, in this case Christian Evangelists and Christian Zionists.
Jewish Zionists and Christian Zionists have goals that are in alignment. According to AI, those common interests are:
“Jewish Zionists and Christian Zionists share a core, foundational goal: the support, preservation, and strengthening of the State of Israel as a Jewish sovereign state in its ancestral homeland. While their underlying motivations differ—one largely based on national survival and the other on scriptural prophecy—they act as strategic allies in political advocacy, particularly in the United States and within Israel.”
Zionists have been planning for at least 40 years to get “all their ducks in a row”. Meaning, bring the USA, Israel, UK, and perhaps Australia and any other countries under Zionist political control simultaneously. Plans for this can be traced at least as far back as the 1930s during the planning stages for modern Israel in the USA and UK. It is understood that this might be short lived and difficult to maintain, but if it could be achieved even briefly, a war could be started that would make the shared Zionist goals possible.
Interestingly, the goals of Christian Zionists and Jewish Zionists diverge at some point, so even if they were successful this would trigger additional conflicts. I will get into that in a moment.
The situation today is that this “Zionist Alignment” has been achieved and they are acting as fast as possible to execute on their plans, which took an enormous amount of effort. I have to at least admire that. Israeli Zionist leaders have been invoking The Book of Joshua to give themselves a mandate to cleanse “Greater Israel” (a large region that covers about 6 or 7 modern day countries) of all non-Jewish life. Even children and animals if the Book is read literally, and they are reading it literally.
Efforts to annex enough land to create “Greater Israel” have been ongoing since at least 1948. Now, I’m just stating what is, and for some readers I might need to explain why this is bad. In 1406 BC maybe this was all good. In the 21st Century the international community has agreed that genocide is bad, and especially total genocide that includes children. Ethnic cleansing of land so that it can be transferred to Zionists is also considered an atrocity. It gives me hope that there are at least some things that every country can agree on. Even the USA, Israel, and UK can agree that genocide is bad when they aren’t under Zionist political control.
Now, if you think genocide is good, then you are a monster and I realize I likely won’t be able to use logic to convince you otherwise. Maybe not a monster in 1406 BC, but this isn’t 1406 BC. I’m not judging anyone in 1406 BC, I wasn’t there.
Every religion ages poorly in some ways, especially over thousands of years. It’s a testament to the value of these religions that they still exist after that time. It is up to modern day humans to recognise this and say “this doctrine from 3700 years ago has aged badly and is obsolete. I’m not going to follow it literally.” Or, you could. But if you went out and killed some children and then said “God told me to do it”, then you’ve made your choice and you will likely spend the rest of your life in prison or institutionalized.
So here I’m really asking religious folk (this would include Buddhists also) to be conscientious about their beliefs. If they choose to be evil, then at least own up to that and take responsibility for their actions. Life is all about choices, that makes you who you are.
The people invoking Greater Israel and the Book of Joshua, I don’t believe they even believe what they are saying. They are on a power trip and want to conquer the Middle East to enrich themselves, like all colonists. Especially European colonists. Most of these people aren’t from the Middle East, they are European. For instance Netanyahu’s father was Benzion Mileikowsky, born in Poland. He was a “Revisionist Zionist”. He was intensely racist, believing that Arabs were an “enemy by essence”. This distinction is critical because that absolute taint was the condition that “God” cited in 1406 BC to validate the total genocide of the Canaanites. Once you make that claim, if it goes unchallenged, you set up the logical argument for genocide via The Book of Joshua. Labelling people “terrorists” when they defend their land and families from invaders is an attempt to assign “absolute taint” unjustly to people.
In creating Israel, the Zionists could have chosen any model and people to emulate and act as mentors. Trying to copy the Nazis is a disappointing choice. The Nazis were Christians. How could a people go through the Holocaust and, instead of learning from it, attempt to emulate it? Of course Christian Zionists and white supremacists can be identified because they also utilize this same language to label partisans.
The “Third Temple”
So what do Christian Zionists believe, and how does that differ from Jewish Zionists? I’m not a scholar on Christian Zionism either, but again I don’t really need to be because this group is fairly open about what they believe and are up to. You just have to Listen to them, and I love to Listen.
Margorie Taylor Greene has the same first name as my beloved grandmother, bless her heart. Marjorie (the living one) this week has been pushing back on American Christian Zionists now in power in the USA. They trusted her for so long that she knows the whole Plan. Now she’s spilling all that knowledge and I’m here to Listen carefully.
Apparently this group wants to build something called “The Third Temple”. Now, I’m not going to lie. If The Book of Joshua is a bit awkward, the Third Temple sounds like a ritual to summon Cthulhu to end the world. Straight up Lovecraft love. This involves going to the Temple Mount, possibly the most holy place on Earth in Jewish and Christian teachings, and razing the existing Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
No doubt this would start a World War. But…you can’t trigger a World War if…you’ve already triggered the World War. By, let’s say, vaporizing the leader of the Shia religion. Now, here is where the plot gets really good. This isn’t any “normal” World War. This triggers the “War to End all Wars”. The Apocalypse. The idea here is that everyone dies. They have to die because this is how these Christians get to Heaven.
I’m trying very hard not to judge, but when Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks you are too extreme, that should tell you something. That woman has paid for ads where she holds high powered rifles and threatens the Congressional “Squad” racial minorities, anyone who is against fascism, blows up a car labelled “Socialism”, and has called for the execution of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The people in power in the USA pushing the war in the Gulf are too extreme for Marjorie.
I have to make clear that mainstream Christians believe that the Apocalypse is triggered by Jesus or God when they return, and not by the hand of Man. But Christian Zionists are in a BIG hurry and can’t wait.
[Mainstream Jews are not big on this plan and in general Jews believe that the “end of days” will be triggered by the arrival of a Messiah and that the world will be transformed for the better, not destroyed. That doesn’t sound so bad. Certainly not Lovecraftian class horror.]
This is why I’m confident in saying that this is a World War, not the “short excursion” that Trump is selling the public. Trump isn’t even a Zionist, they just need him to get the party started. This has been decades plus in the planning stage. Once everything was in Zionist Alignment, it was time to move. The time table even had to be accelerated because Trump is in extremely poor health and he has to be alive to maintain the Alignment. I will explain the politics here in the next paper.
Muslims and The Apocalypse
Muslims also believe in the Apocalypse. They don’t believe it is triggered by man, they believe it will be triggered by The Anti Christ (Dajjal). I have to admit I know almost nothing about the Muslim faith so I had to do a bit of research here. Jesus then returns from Heaven and slays the Dajjal, the world ends, and everyone faces Judgement.
As an Objective Observer in this scenario, I have to say that I could see how there are some actors in this play that could be interpreted as an Anti Christ by some. This could trigger maximum fervour and willingness to self-sacrifice on the part of Muslims. There are about 2 billion Muslims in the world. That’s some serious math right there.
Part of their prophecy involves “the sun rising in the West”, which could very easily be interpreted in modern times as the deployment of nuclear weapons. I’m not saying anyone here would do that, but if anyone did, this would almost certainly put Muslims into “end times mode”. Woah. My father was Middle Eastern. I can’t even imagine. My father tried to beat my mother to death right in front of me when I was 2. Authorities had to intervene to save me from him when I was 17. Trust me, you aren’t ready for whatever counts as “end times fervour”. See those pictures of Israelis running to bunkers? And the pictures of missiles landing next to thousands of Iranians and the Iranians don’t even blink?
So given that the family of the current Iranian leadership murdered and likely tortured my entire Turkish family, where do I stand here? The leader of Iran now, due to his father’s untimely demise, was 9 years old when that happened. I can’t punish a 9 year old for what his family did to my family. That’s called “collective punishment” and in the 21st century civilized people are mature enough to not do that. I could even imagine him and I sitting down at a table to have tea and talk, without either of us killing each other. I would forgive him for his ancestor’s sins, and he might forgive me for my work to make sure the B-2 bomber was built and deployed.
I have to hold Iran as being the least responsible party in this scenario for the World War, because they had the least choice in starting it. Twice they tried to negotiate in good faith, and twice their diplomates were vaporized right in the middle of talks. Vaporizing the other side’s diplomats is kind of an indication that one side doesn’t believe in diplomacy. More importantly, diplomacy is there to negotiate peace at the end of a war. Killing all diplomats sends the signal that you don’t expect an end to that war. Or that when you are done, there won’t be any need to negotiate because there won’t be anyone left to negotiate with.
Short Term Future Events
This is where we are at. The Israelis understand. The Iranians understand. The rest of the Middle East will figure out what’s up within weeks. The West? Well, the West is complicated. So complicated that I decided to add another paper after this one and before I explain what comes next. That paper will describe the influence and PsyOps campaigns that are engaged in parallel to the religious and military layers.
Note that while there is a brief Zionist Alignment in Western leadership, the general populations of those countries are not Zionist. When they understand what’s going on, they are going to protest. Intensely. That’s actually not as good as it sounds. That means that the protagonists here know they have very limited time and will seek to escalate maximally to remove choice from everyone. Stopping a war is a lot harder than starting a war.
If Trump dies “unexpectedly” then Peter “Palantir” Thiel ends up president through his proxy/puppet JD Vance. As improbable as that sounds, that’s an even worse scenario than the current one. Peter Thiel claims to be an expert on The Anti Christ. I 100% believe him. He might know more on that subject than anyone else on Earth. While Trump is not a Christian Zionist, Peter Thiel is. If Trump tries to pull out, I would expect he would get “Epsteined”. So strap in, things are about to get spicy.
Is There a Way Out?
Yes, and actually it’s not that complicated. I’m not saying it would be easy though. Just as I’m evaluating Buddhism to see how it could be updated/modernized, we could do that collectively with the consent of all appropriate leaders for the 3 conflicting major religions.
Something along the lines of a United Nations for religion, perhaps a United Faith organisation. All participants would have to agree on a core ideology that applies to all of them. Things like “murder is bad”. They would have to avoid an absolute veto such as the one that is regularly exploited in the UN Security Council.
All three religions would have to agree to review and revise their doctrines to eliminate any advocacy for atrocities. Friction points that remain could be negotiated to reduce that friction, via treaties that would be reviewed periodically.
There then needs to be a way of policing and punishing transgressions.
The Earth doesn’t have a United Faith because we haven’t made the effort to create it yet. Almost all religions have some description of End Times. I think it would be prudent to forbid doctrines that involve humans forcing an end times on others. Let their God decide when that’s going to happen, not a human. Or in the case of Buddhism, supposedly the Buddha said Buddhism has an expiration date and will only last 5000 years. It could then be reset by a new Buddha. I personally don’t think Buddhism is going to be a thing in 500 years (if humans are still a thing) because of Western influences rapidly degrading observance of that faith.
My Plan for This Series
Give a history of Iran, my involvement, and why I’m not on anyone’s side here
This paper on the religious layer of the World War
The influence game, PsyOps, false flags and other cloak and dagger stuff
The economic and military layers
My prediction on how this ends up.
I wasn’t expecting to do 5 papers, but a World War is a rare event and hopefully it will only happen once in my lifetime.
