The point is to have wars, continuous wars, because that\u2019s how you profit. That\u2019s how you steal from the US people.\u201d &#8212; <\/em>Julian Assange<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>21 Jan 2026 &#8211; <\/em>It is important for us to remember that for the Israelis and the North Americans, the conflict in the Middle East (West Asia) is not just a geopolitical rivalry, it is also an <strong>eschatological <\/strong>war.\u00a0 That is a war relating to the end of the world.\u00a0 It is very important that we appreciate that there are these extremist religious elements, Zionists, that are both in the Israeli military (IDF) and the North American National Security Apparatus who see a war in the Middle East, World War III as a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Or, as the end of the world; in order to rejuvenate the world. This is North American and Israeli Zionists\u2019 <em>End Times<\/em> or the <em>End of Days<\/em> belief.<\/p>\n<p>It is not really appreciated how the North American National Security Apparatus and the Settler Colonial state of Israel are fully committed to igniting World War III in order to hasten the return of Jusus, the Second Coming of a folk hero dead for over 2000 years, and the Jewish Messiah. \u201cMaimonides, a medieval Jewish philosopher said that there have been only <em>nine red heifers<\/em> in history. The tenth, he predicted, would arrive at the time of the Messiah\u201d (Spector, <em>Evangelicals and Israel<\/em>, p. 203). As if Maimonides would know, at a time when the world was thought to be flat, and his knowledge of <em>the world<\/em> was as far as a donkey-ride to the nearest village.<\/p>\n<p>US and Israeli Zionists who believe this nonsense are in the NSA: Mormons, Freemasons, the Jesuits, i.e., people with extreme religious views.\u00a0 Such people, embedded within the NSA and IDF, \u00a0are all following a certain script that <em>requires<\/em> them to start World War III in the Middle East.\u00a0 They believe that once war is started engulfing the Middle East, then they are able to fulfill certain prophecies which include the creation of a world government (run by Jews, of course) and the return of Jesus and the arrival of the Jewish Messiah.\u00a0 We need to fully understand and appreciate the eschatological, religious elements underlying this conflict in the Middle East; and the puerile yet dangerous beliefs driving it.<\/p>\n<p>There is or seems to be an anxiety or rush to get this war started as soon as possible.\u00a0 The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, calls himself a <em>crusader. <\/em>His ideology includes the insane and childish notionof getting rid of Iran and China. For these Christian and Jewish Zionists reality, or facts on the ground are secondary when it comes to their lust for war. So, a couple of years ago Israel imported five <strong>red steers<\/strong> from Texas. These five red steers were genetically modified to be <em>perfect<\/em>, hoping one could produce a flawless heifer. <em>\u00a0<\/em>The reason why is that the Bible (Numbers:19) says that Israel needs to sacrifice <em>a red heifer in order to consecrate the ground for the building of the third temple<\/em>; in preparation for the Jewish Messiah. Extreme religious fanatics in Israel and the U.S. want to build this temple. This is problematic because they want to build it on top of the <strong>Al-Aqsa Mosque<\/strong> which is the third holiest sit in the Islamic world.<\/p>\n<p>Undeterred, these demonic, demented, dumb US and Israeli Zionists insist on their genocidal, suicidal path to <em>End Times.<\/em>\u00a0 According to Stephen Spector\u2019s <em>Evangelicals and Israel<\/em>: <em>The Story of American Christian Zionism<\/em>: \u201cIn the 1990s, one born-again Christian tried to supply that cow: Clyde Lott, a cattle breeder and Pentecostal Preacher from Mississippi\u2026Rather than shipping a few hundred Red Angus cattle to Israel, he decided to bring 50,000, to build the Israeli livestock industry until the end-times arrived\u201d (204). Lott and his fellow fools and followers really, seriously, want to hasten the Rapture and the Antichrist.<\/p>\n<p>So, a war between Israel and Iran, if or when it happens, would provide a perfect pretext to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, because Israel can say like \u201cOops, sorry, a ballistic missile came to Jerusalem and hit the mosque. It\u2019s okay. We\u2019ll just build a third temple.\u201d\u00a0 And, if this were to happen, then the one billion Muslims around the world would be obliged to seek vengeance; it would be a cataclysm that is unimaginable.\u00a0 The governments of Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and others would be put in an absolutely untenable situation.\u00a0 The North Americans will continue sleepwalking to Armageddon.<\/p>\n<p>As I have noted elsewhere: Much of Judeo\/Christianity insist on a literal interpretation of its mythology. \u201cWe are to believe, for example, that the miraculous creation of the world, the virgin birth of its spiritual hero, and his ultimate death, resurrection, and ascension to heaven actually took place.\u00a0 Now these themes appear in African mythology, but the emphasis is on their <em>metaphorical<\/em> rather than their literal interpretation\u201d (Clyde Ford, <em>Hero with an African Face<\/em>, 14).\u00a0 And Joseph Campbell in his seminal work <em>Hero with a Thousand Faces<\/em>, notes that such stories are \u201crecounted everywhere; and with such striking uniformity of the main contours, that early Christian missionaries were forced to think that the devil himself must be throwing up mockeries of their teaching wherever they set their hand\u201d (309).\u00a0 Even Dr. Martin Luther King understood the \u201cSecond Coming\u201d metaphorically, as \u201cevery time we open our hearts\u2026every time we turn our backs on the ow road and accept the high road\u2026The final doctrine of the second coming is that whenever we turn our lives to the highest and best there for us is the <em>Christ<\/em>\u201d (King, <em>Papers<\/em>, 270). Such stories and myths are universal.<\/p>\n<p><em>________________________________________<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Fritz_Pointer_test-e1705472698149.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-156438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Fritz_Pointer_test-e1705472698149.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"90\" height=\"75\" \/><\/a> Fritz Pointer is a retired professor of English and African American Studies.\u00a0 He is the vice president of <\/em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dwfed.org\/\" ><em>Democratic World Federalists<\/em><\/a><em> and has published numerous scholarly articles such as <\/em>African Oral Epic Poetry: Praising the Deeds of a Mythic Hero<em> (2013).\u00a0 Being the older brother of the popularly known singing group, <\/em>The Pointer Sisters<em>, he has co-authored <\/em>Fairytale: the Pointer Sisters\u2019 Family History.<em>\u00a0Pointer\u2019s main interests include combating racism, advancing human rights, ending war, eliminating nuclear weapons, and nonviolent solutions to global problems.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 Jan 2026 &#8211; It is important for us to remember that for the Israelis and the North Americans, the conflict in the Middle East (West Asia) is not just a geopolitical rivalry, it is also an eschatological war.\u00a0 That is a war relating to the end of the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":156438,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[3287,3143,2642,3614,1175,88,767,3530,112,2060,70,481,2534],"class_list":["post-312391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-palestine-israel-gaza-genocide","tag-anti-zionism","tag-anti-hegemony","tag-anti-imperialism","tag-disaster-capitalism","tag-extinction","tag-israel","tag-middle-east","tag-military-capitalism","tag-pentagon","tag-profits","tag-usa","tag-warfare","tag-wwiii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312391"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":312392,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312391\/revisions\/312392"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
