I made a joke that made Spooky Noodles laugh. Once he PUTS ON the Plain Paper Bad, and it becomes His Head to wear, then, perhaps this hidden identity becomes a home for a AI Robot? The Unknown Commentators are breeding grounds for Artificial Information, like the kind Herbert Armstrong spread all over the world with the help of PIRATE RADIO that was operating when the United States was sending 18 year olds to die in Vietnam – after loading our Democracy with Artificial Information! Did Israel send troops to Vietnam? How many Israeli soldiers – died over there? Did Israeli think tanks label the Vietcong – ANTISEMITIC – because American Jews did die in Vietnam. How many?
Spooky commented it was D-Day, and we talked about Vietnam – and forming a new Peace Movement. Two hours ago, I read this

There is evidence the Religious Zionists PREPARED for October 7th. a year before! Did they anticipate Americans, and American Colleges would PROTEST a war led by Religious Zealots, aimed at wiping out all enemies? Are these enemies LIMITED to the Zionist Holy Land, or, do these Zionists consider every Jew in America an honorary member of a CLOSED RELIGIOUS BODY? Judaism is not open to JUST ANYONE, while WE have open borders, and welcome all religions..
I am approaching this Religious Dilemma as The Prophet of The New Radio Church of God. I am protected by the Constitution from domestic and foreign enemies I am looking to pass a law that requires every Jew in America to sign a pledge, saying they do not support THE LIE THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN! I will make a case that Putin made AI-bots to invade our Democracy, and spread MANY LIES! Write your elected officials, and demand Netanyahu sign a oath that denies Trump and Republicans…..THE GREATLIE! We the People GET TO KNOW the military intentions of every nation we give, and sell, military weapons to!
Above is my late father-in-law, Robert Miles, who did horrific things in Vietnam, that all but destroyed his soul. He is….A Son of D-Day. He was led to believe he was a brave patriot like those Americans who landed in Normandy. Israel has none million citizens, and are conducting their version of D-Day that is dragging my Democracy – DOWN!
The U.S. helped found a Secular Socialist Israel that was taken over by a Religious Body, to the objection of half the Jews. That the Zionists are conducting a Religious Invasion of a nation that has 350 million citizens, makes Israel susceptible to….BEING CONSUMED BY THE BIGGER FISH. In this idea, British Israelism – becomes more real! In future posts I will explain how.
I am not an Election Denier. As an American Jew I take this oath because I want to vote. I swear I am not obligated to fight for the IDFin any foreign nation.”

David Ben-Gurion who later became Israel’s prime minister met Ho Chi Minh in Paris in 1946, the two were merely acquaintances and never discussed any military cooperation, covert or otherwise. Israel did not get involved in the Vietnam War. The United States was a vital ally and weapons provider to the Israeli military and Israel would never have done anything to jeopardize this relationship.
In addition, the Six Day War happened in 1967 which coincided with the American military presence in Vietnam. Israel was already preoccupied with fighting for its own existence. There was a famous rescue operation conducted by the Israeli freighter Yuvali of Vietnamese refugees near Taiwan in 1977. In addition, approximately 360 Vietnamese refugees were taken in by Israel. Israel and Vietnam did not establish diplomatic relations until July 12, 1993.
Wingate, a special operations officer and intelligence expert, became best known for his sabotage and guerrilla tactics against the Japanese in Burma, and is widely regarded by military historians as one of the best commando fighters ever.
From 1936 to 1939, Wingate was stationed in Palestine, then governed by the British under a mandate established by the League of Nations in the wake of World War I and the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. He was instrumental in training Jewish paramilitary groups to use guerrilla tactics against Palestinian insurgents who staged attacks both against the British authorities and Jewish communities.
According to Brackney (2012) and Fine (2015), the French Huguenot magistrate M. le Loyer’s The Ten Lost Tribes, published in 1590, provided one of the earliest expressions of the belief that the Anglo-Saxon, Celtic, Scandinavian, Germanic, and associated peoples are the direct descendants of the Old Testament Israelites.[3][10]: 176 Anglo-Israelism has also been attributed to King James VI and I (1566–1625),[10] who is reported to have believed he was the King of Israel.[3]Adriaan van Schrieck (1560–1621), who influenced Henry Spelman (1562–1641) and John Sadler (1615–74), wrote in the early 17th century about his ideas on the origins of the Celtic and Saxon peoples. In 1649, Sadler published Rights of the Kingdom,[11] “which argues for an ‘Israelite genealogy for the British people’”.[10]: 176

The grandson of a founding member of the Black Panther Party said his grandfather does not support former President Donald Trump, asserting that a viral video interview of the activist supposedly endorsing Trump was misleading.
On Tuesday, Eric Jones responded to the viral video that was posted on Sunday, sharing on X that he was working to get it removed because it misrepresented his grandfather, David Hilliard, the former chief of staff of the Black Panther Party. The original video was posted on TikTok by a woman named Carol Mitchell, who asked Hilliard how he knew Trump and his thoughts on the presidential candidate. The video was picked up by right-wing social media accounts and some news outlets, which reported that Hilliard expressed support for Trump. But Jones said in his own video alongside his grandfather that Mitchell was “misrepresenting” his grandfather’s views on the former president and threatened to obtain a cease and desist order against her.
I now understand why Neil Laudati did not respond to purchasing KORE.

Four days ago I posted this – prophecy! It will come out that God-Trump wanted to gift Greenland to the Kirshner’s so they can create a Jewish Sanctuary in case of war with Iran – which is coming! This Green Madness is a dream come true for Putin. Reality is now God-Trump’s Reality Show. The Danish PM realizes The Mad Man is at her door. She can barely catch her breath. Rena’s folks are from Denmark. Is Rena as Trump devotee?

Three Jewish students sue UCLA, saying protesters blocked access to campus facilities
Three Jewish UCLA students filed a federal lawsuit against the UC regents and several university officials on Wednesday, alleging that anti-Israel protesters blocked them from crucial parts of the campus.
In the 74-page filing, the plaintiffs — two second-year law students and a sophomore history major — described UCLA as a “hotbed of antisemitism,” with activists carrying signs with threatening messages, chanting “Death to the Jews” and obstructing passage to campus facilities.
Lawyers for the students said pro-Palestinian protesters established checkpoints at their encampment on Royce Quad, providing entry only to those who condemned Israel.
CIA assessment concludes Netanyahu is likely to defy US pressure to set a post-war plan for Gaza

A CIA assessment circulated among US officials this week concluded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu likely judges he can get away without defining a post-war plan — even as the Biden administration has launched a full-court press to pressure him to bring an end to the conflict in Gaza.
Netanyahu “probably believes he can maintain support from his security chiefs and prevent defections” from the right wing of his coalition by discussing the future of Gaza in “vague terms,” the June 3 report, reviewed by CNN, reads.
The assessment — which has not been previously reported — represents one of the most up to date intelligence assessments about Netanyahu’s mindset that has been circulated among senior US officials, according to a source familiar with internal reporting.
It comes amid a clear shift in how the Biden administration views Israel: less as a trusted partner and more as an unpredictable foreign government to be analyzed and understood.
The CIA declined to comment when asked about CNN’s reporting.
The assessment highlights how the Israeli leader is defying pressure from members of his own government and the Biden administration to define an “end state” for Gaza and warns what Netanyahu has said publicly is likely true: that he will only engage seriously on post-war issues after meeting “what he sees as key security benchmarks, which may take months.”
According to the assessment, those benchmarks include completing “major military operations” — something analysts have said is deliberately vague — as well as eliminating Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif.
Deif is the commander of the Qassam Brigades and, as a senior commander of the military wing of Hamas, is believed to have been deeply involved in the planning of the October 7, 2023, attacks in Israel.
Israel has tried to target Deif multiple times in the past, and although he has been injured, he is believed to still be alive.
Israeli citizenship law details the conditions by which a person holds citizenship of Israel. The two primary pieces of legislation governing these requirements are the 1950 Law of Return and 1952 Citizenship Law.
Every Jew has the unrestricted right to immigrate to Israel and become an Israeli citizen. Individuals born within the country receive citizenship at birth if at least one parent is a citizen. Non-Jewish foreigners may naturalize after living there for at least three years while holding permanent residency and demonstrating proficiency in the Hebrew language. Naturalizing non-Jews are additionally required to renounce their previous nationalities, while Jewish immigrants are not subject to this requirement.
She said she did not realize at the time that a chant Canary Mission took issue with, “When people are occupied, resistance is justified,” is considered by many as an expression of support for Hamas’ killings of Israeli civilians. She joined in the chants, she claimed, to show support for demonstrations.
Responding to an inquiry submitted via its website, Canary Mission said it has been “working around the clock” to combat a “wave of antisemitism” on college campuses since Oct. 7, including by exposing people who endorse Hamas.
Canary Mission did not respond to questions about Sayed’s profile or the online abuse directed against its targets, according to the comments from the site provided by a spokesperson from a Tel Aviv-based public relations firm, Gova10.
t was a scene reminiscent of the Red Scare days, of grainy black-and-white television images of political witch hunts by the old House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). But rather than hunting for disloyal communist sympathizers, committee members at early December’s hearingbefore the House Committee on Education and the Workforce were instead hunting for university presidents disloyal to Israel. “Are you now, or have you ever been, an anti-Zionist?” quippedNew York Timescolumnist Michelle Goldberg. “You can see the trap.”

The President of Denmark, seeing the War of Armageddon is about to happen in an insane act of self-fulfilling prophecy, comes up with a scheme with secret members of the Israeli Government, who are Socialist and Atheists, determined to save Israel (at least) The Haredi are getting a lot of unwanted attention from the evangelical prophets. If the blessed Tribulation is going to happen, the Haredi are the key!
“What if we could get them to abandon their orthodoxy, and believe in a new idea? ”
“Like what?”
“How about we transplant real stones and relics, from the Holy Land, to Greenland, then, we claim they were exposed in a melting glacier. Here is the lost palace of King David and Solomon. Surely the underground vault containing all that gold is close by. We tell the world it appears Solomon hired the Vikings as mercenaries, and, they went forth and looted – mostly from Christian churches.”
“I like! Please continue!”
The Government of Israel and the United States make an offer to buy Greenland for the Jews so they can enjoy their New Promised Land. Done! The first people on the boat to Antichrist Island, are the Haredi Jews. They push their way up the gangplank claiming it’s their birthright to be the first Jews in Greenland, that is soon named ‘Antichrist Island’ because the Jews finally admit, they as a people, are the Antichrist. They even start wearing green swastikas armbands because they in fact are the true Aryan Race, indigenous to the North.
“Anddddd…….We hold fake book burnings of Tim LaHaye’s book, as a symbol he led true believers down a Dead End!”
“Ohh! You are a genius. How wicked of us!”
“Shall we order – ten thousand armbands?”
“Oh ye of little faith. How do you think Hitler got started? After he got out of prison, he went to a local Jewish tailor and asked his advice.”
“Do you think I’m wasting my money if I order thirty – before I have any followers?”
“I’ll make forty of what-you-ma-call its. Trust me, I know my Germans. Make them, and they will come!”
“Every year King Solomon received over twenty-five tons (other translations say ‘six hundred and sixty-six talents’) of gold, in addition to the taxes paid by merchants . . . (1Kings 10:14 – 15).
Tim LaHaye, one of the best-selling writers in American history, died July 25 at the age of 90. Along with Jerry B. Jenkins, LaHaye, a prominent Evangelical minister, co-authored the Left Behind series—16 novels about a vision of the Christian end-times that have sold a combined 63 million copies. For comparison’s sake, that’s 13 million more copies than Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 100 Years of Solitude.
And had it not been for an Introduction to American Studies lecture I took in (probably) 2008, this literary phenomenon would have passed me by entirely.
I forget much of what I read in college, but the first Left Behind novel—and snippets of the climactic scene of one of the final Left Behind novels—are drilled into my memory. And why wouldn’t they be? People get raptured off of an airplane in the series’ very first pages, the Antichrist (a power-hungry Romanian politician named Nicolae Carpathia) uses his position as secretary general of the United Nations to impose an anti-Christian secular world government, and the whole thing culminates in a phantasmagoric battle over Jerusalem. It’s a beach-ready, conspiracy-heavy invitation to envision the end of the world. What could be more exciting—or more baffling?
***
The 16 Left Behind novels tell the story of the period between the rapture and the return of Christ to Earth. In its telling of the apocalyptic war between Christian believers and the Antichrist, the series turns a particularly American version of an even more particularly Protestant eschatology narrative into the stuff of page-turners. Lest we get too carried away admiring Left Behind’s deft and even Dan Brown-like synthesis of the action novel with paranoia-tinged popular religious themes, the series has a notably bizarre attitude toward Jews.
In the books, Israel has made peace with all of her neighbors, and invented astounding, perhaps even miraculous, technologies that have made the desert bloom, thus fulfilling two crucial prerequisites for the authors’ vision of the end-times. Nicolae Carphatia is assassinated by an Israeli botanist named Chaim Rosenzweig (don’t worry; Nic soon comes back to life as the incarnation of Satan himself), and a Jew and rabbinic scholar named Tsion Ben-Judah is one of the heroes of the series’ apocalyptic final battle. The Jews even get to rebuild the Temple at the start of the “Tribulation,” or the seven years of the Antichrist’s persecution of religious believers.
As author Glenn W. Struck notes in Mark of the Beast: Left Behind and the Struggle for Evangelical Identity, there’s some unsavory theology hovering just in the foreground here. “LaHaye and Jenkins’s attitude toward Jews reflects the carefully nuanced viewpoint of dispensational prophecy belief,” he writes, using the scholarly term for the Protestant end-times theology that the Left Behind series novelizes. “Prophecy writers insist they are philo-Semitic, supporting the state of Israel at every opportunity. Yet their attitudes toward Judaism as a religion, along with their attitudes toward individual practitioners, reflect the latent, although occasionally more obvious, anti-Semitism found in the history of dispensational prophecy belief.”
In other words, the Jews are tolerated and even celebrated in Left Behind because of their role in bringing about another religion’s messianic redemption, which occurs at the expense of the Jews’ metaphysical truth-claims and their existence as a religion and a people. “When Jewish people such as yourself come to see that Jesus is your long-sought messiah, you are not converting from one religion to another, no matter what anyone tells you,” one character tells a terrified group of Israeli Jews before the final battle against Carpathia in Armageddon: The Cosmic Battle for the Ages. “You have found your messiah, that is all.”
Maura Spiegel, a senior lecturer in English and comparative literature at Columbia University, explained that she assigned sections of the series to my class back in 2008because of the troubling divisions it suggested within contemporary American life. She believes there is pedagogical value in exploring the cultural dissonance the series embodies, especially for students at a liberal arts institution who are unlikely to really ever meet or even think about the Left Behind-reading demographic in non-abstract terms.
“Something in the mix of this religious narrative with this sort of low form intrigued me besides just the fact of its enormous popularity and the reality that most of the books were not sold and still are not sold on the East Coast,” she explained, suggesting that you might have to put a little extra effort into finding copies of Left Behind in the Godless Northeast. “It felt to me like, we don’t know about this. This is a massive event occurring off of our radar.
“One conclusion is that we are living in separate realities in this country. And we’re seeing it right now playing out bigger than it’s ever played out with this presidential election. It’s like two different languages.”
LaHaye wrote a work of titillating apocalypse porn, a trashy epic of conspiracism and fundamentalist wish fulfillment. Yet Spiegel’s observation of the book’s separateness from the secular American mainstream implies a certain responsibility to find a more sympathetic reading of the man and his work.
***
At its core, the Left Behind series posits that through individual and collective effort, and faith in God’s pre-ordained historical order, the world and the soul can transcend the violence and corruption afflicting them and affect a utopian redemption right here on earth. It’s a fine message. But the series poses a troubling final question: Does such a message have to come at everybody else’s expense? And would the series be as popular as it is if it didn’t?
For East Coast college students—and particularly for Jews—the runaway popularity of the Left Behind series might motion towards the dark inner yearnings within some substantial number of our fellow citizens, who are treated to the vanquishment of secular pluralism, and the attendant triumph of an evangelical theory of history and reality itself. It’s a story that ends with the Jews being subsumed into non-existence, and that’s after it’s demonstrated that their entire purpose was to bring about the return of another religion’s messiah in the first place. But horror is an insufficient response to LaHaye’s work, which was an apparent source of inspiration to millions of productive, law-abiding, utterly normal, and outwardly tolerant Americans. It’s easy to understand the appeal of Left Behind, which is an addictively readable melding of the lowbrow thriller with high theological drama. But in deference to the literary tastes and fundamental worldview of tens of millions of Americans, let’s try, momentarily, to find what’s good about them, too.
The best thing that can be said about the Left Behind series is that it’s a work of optimism. The saga begins in a world that’s utterly mundane and disenchanted, yet governed by a hidden and inevitably redemptive metaphysical order. It’s not just that history has meaning—it has a happy ending too, even if it’ll take 16 volumes and a Tribulation and war with the Antichrist and the deaths of several main characters to get there.
And you, reader, will have a happy ending as well. Messianic return and eternal life are coming, and there’s no need to fret in the meanwhile, even in your fallen and impure state. The heroes of the Left Behind series aren’t the raptured, but flawed souls here on earth who are tasked with the real heavy lifting of redemption. Imperfection is not damnation in the Left Behind books. To be “left behind” is a marker of an individual purpose, itself joined to a higher metaphysical duty.
These are worthy, ennobling messages. But they’re packaged in a way that’s almost calculated to appall most liberal sensitivities—and to keep Americans living in different worlds, speaking different languages.
