The behavior of nations or groups of people can be controlled by policy objectives, or by prophecy and religion, and when the two combine, their joint power increases greatly.
The Ayatollah Khomenei once commented that the Iranian revolution for democracy, which overthrew the Shah in 1979, would never have succeeded if religion had not taken the lead.
The Plan for the New American Century, designed by a neoconservative think tank in 1997, has governed US policy to this day. Gen. Wesley Clark revealed its scope in 2007: to destroy Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.
Meanwhile, Israeli policy, invoking Genesis 15 chapter 18, where God confers the Promised Land on Abraham, aspires to reclaim Greater Israel, stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates.
Thus combined, the objectives of both the US, following the PNAC, and Israel, aiming for Greater Israel, are currently being consummated. The destruction of Palestine has provided the signal occasion. The world sits in a huge amphitheater, in the center of which miserable, endless lines of ragged people inch northward to their homes, reduced to corpses and rubble. Itamar Ben Givir prays, blasphemously, in the Muslim Al Aqsa compound, claiming victory. Shofars, rams’ horns are blown symbolically at the corners of the Third Temple, which Israel will construct when it demolishes Al Aqsa.
As well as the objectives, the names for both these achievements are congruent. For the US, we use the legal term, Crime. For Israel, it is the religious and moral term, Sin.

Indeed, Neoconservativism has never been anything else but a front for Israel’s ambitions.
In addition to crime and sin, there is another term: fraud. Yes, some stupid book that very weak minded people place high value on says that a vengeful, violent, grumpy old man who lives in the sky gave all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates to the children of Abraham. But who exactly are these children? Hint: there’s a reason DNA tests are illegal in Israel.
There was no Kingdom of David, and there was no Exodus. How can I say so? Because there is no evidence of either. Every single time evidence has been presented for the existence of the Kingdom of David, it has been proven to be a fraud. Even within Israel it is acknowledged that there is no evidence that the Exodus happened.
If you tell me unicorns exist, I will ask you for evidence. I can’t prove that unicorns don’t exist – there might be one on Mars or in another galaxy. Perhaps the universe is multidimensional and unicorns exist in universe number 12345. The burden of proof is on the person who says unicorns exist. And it’s a simple matter – just show me a unicorn. You can even show me a fossil of a unicorn and add additional evidence to prove it’s a real fossil. But until you prove it with evidence, I will say that unicorns don’t exist.
The Kingdom of David didn’t exist, the Exodus didn’t happen, and the book is just a stupid book that evil people use to justify murder and the rape of children. The tiny few who use the book for good have taken Matthew 6:5-6 and Joel 2:13 to heart.
