In a cosmic scheduling blunder, the Islamic Mahdi and American Evangelical Christ both descended to Earth three years early, thanks to a divine calendar mix-up between Gabriel’s Google account and Heaven’s outdated Outlook system. Armageddon had been resheduled.

The Mahdi appeared in Baghdad glowing with prophetic calm, while Christ crash-landed in Waco, Texas, draped in a red, white, and blue robe and flanked by televangelists wielding AR-15s and baptismal drones.

Hastily live-streaming their arrivals under competing hashtags... #EndTimesNow and #SecondComingYall, they each claimed top billing for Armageddon and demanded humanity’s undivided attention, prompting global panic, massive merch drops, and a Netflix bidding war.

Things came to a head in Nevada, where both messianic teams arrived to find they’d double-booked the Final Battle venue with a Monster Truck Apocalypse Rally.

As flaming swords clashed with tactical hymnals, the Mahdi and Christ paused to realize they actually agreed on most things, justice, humility, not nuking the Earth for clout.
After some shawarma and a quick game of celestial chess, they postponed Armageddon to 2075 and promised a co-authored TED Talk instead. Humanity sighed in relief, while conspiracy theorists wept and started crowdfunding a new apocalypse.

Yes beliefs in the Islamist Mahdi and the Evangelical Christ are causing troubles for the Israelis, but that is where Theocracy takes you.

I am more than alarmed at the way the President of the United States, on his own accord, without the approval of (or even consulting with) Congressional leadership, committed the United States to war.

Congress has for decades now, under both Republican and Democratic presidents, ceded its responsibility for declaring war to a single individual. This sort of power is the absolute antithesis of a democratic republic.

Benjamin Franklin said the founders gifted us with a republic if we could keep it. We've clearly demonstrated we can't.

One person shouldn't have that power.

Especially a near 80 year old man with at best questionable motives and morals.

Remember the Hegseth Signal scandal and all the talk about how the mission might have been been compromised if details of the mission had been leaked, there was no talk of congress getting involved then, they were just concerned with the Houthis bombing ships in the suez cannal... and no-one complained that congress had not been involved. It was just a military operation not a declaration of war... that had commercial and economic interests involved.

Bombing the nuclear sites had to be top secret, I should have imagined a big debate in congress might have given the show away... and it's just 80 year old communist Bernie, with no power who is stirring the congressional pot.

Having said that bombing the shite out of countries is the American way, and it is not a Rep/Dem thing... think Hillary and Lybia and regime change, was that congress approved?
She remarked We came, we saw, He died!!! Democratic bombastic boasting.

And if you are looking for other strange unilateral military operation what about Nato bombing in Bosnia/Serbia?

In the secular west religion in all its forms is scoffed at and dismissed as not being relevant , but Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, has stated:

"The belief in the Mahdi gives hope to hearts and prepares the ground for resistance against oppression and corruption."

While some figures within the Iranian political or clerical establishment have made apocalyptic or Mahdist references when speaking about Israel or global events, Khamenei's public rhetoric tends to separate his opposition to Israel from explicit eschatological claims about the Mahdi's return. He promotes the belief in the Mahdi as a source of hope and justice but usually couches his geopolitical stances in terms of resistance, anti-imperialism, and Islamic unity rather than directly linking them to the destruction of Israel hastening the Mahdi’s reappearance.

Notwithstanding with the recent bombing of the nuclear sites youtube has been awash with videos about the Mahdi.

Is it not strange that they never talk about these beliefs driving political decision's on the news, yet it is widely discussed in Islamist popular culture... and it has a parallel in American for those who wish to hasten the secord coming of Christ.

One notable documentary that covers this is Praying for Armageddon (2023), directed by Tonje Hessen Schei and Michael Rowley. It follows investigative reporter Lee Fang as he explores how some U.S. evangelical Christians actively lobby to accelerate the End Times, including political efforts aimed at shaping U.S. and Israeli policy to set the stage for what they view as the biblical apocalypse
Be afraid very afraid. Islamists believe the Mahdi will turn up as the sheriff with Jesus as his deputy.

I always found it interesting how the right wing Christians (used loosely) suck up to the Jews (who view them as apostate) by funding their entire state of existence in Israel. While at the same time believing that in doing so they will somehow trigger the return of Christ. Believing that the existence of a state or Israel is Bible prophecy fulfilled. Hypocritical at best.


The Jews however hold that their existence in Israel is proof of their sworn heritage of posessing the land.( despite Jesus teaching otherwise) Their existence they believe will trigger their Messiah coming ( not Jesus who they rejected 2000 years ago in favour of Caesar.and who they still reject by word and deed)

While the Muslims hold that Jesus will return and rule from Jerusalem and establish a Muslim caliphate.

All hold that in each case Jesus will establish them as supreme and destroy their enemies.

The same expectation but all with their own twist.

They all are trying to force a Messianic era.

But can man force God into doing anything?

Crazy days.

From looking at some of those Mahdi videos the Islamist believe that man can not engineer the return on the Mahdi, whereas Evangelical christians think they can engineer the return of Christ.

I came across the word occultation which I had never heard before. In Shia Islam, particularly Twelver Shi'ism, occultation (ghayba) refers to the belief that the twelfth Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, did not die but was hidden by God and remains alive in a concealed state until his eventual reappearance to establish justice.

Sounds like its Muhammad's twist on the resurrection.

DOJ has apparently said is no "Epstein list" and nobody else will be charged.

Gisele Maxwell is in prison for sex trafficking

Jeffrey Epstein was in prison for sex trafficking

They were sex trafficking kids to nobody then?

[The Subhuman]

Carpet meet broom

[Cjay]

Carpet meet broom

Nooo!!!!

Jeffrey will be gutted as clearly he was about to be released as no evidence of sex trafficking.

Unfortunate he killed himself before.

[CUSSIE01]

Nooo!!!!

Jeffrey will be gutted as clearly he was about to be released as no evidence of sex trafficking.

Unfortunate he killed himself before.

You don’t subscribe to the theory that Epstein was disposed of because of the secrets he knew and the people he could take down with him then ?

[Barlow Boy]

Nooo!!!!

Jeffrey will be gutted as clearly he was about to be released as no evidence of sex trafficking.

Dealt with more like.

And grooming gangs in the UK are only far right adjacent conspiracy theories.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

[Cjay]

Yes I was being sarcastic.

The very powerful nonces and kiddy fiddlers in government and the world of celebrity would never let it be known.

And now unsurprisingly after bragging he would release the Epstein list (Trump) we are now told by his government that It doesn't exist.

Even though the US Attorney General told everyone it was sat on her desk a few months ago, loads of it

P Diddy another very powerful and wealthy man just got found not guilty of sex trafficking as well

The intersection of the P. Diddy trial, the Epstein files, UK grooming gang scandals, and the Harvey Weinstein case reveals a broader moral crisis gripping Western civilization, one where power, exploitation, and impunity intertwine.

Each of these cases involves systemic abuse, often hidden behind wealth, celebrity, or institutional protection. The Epstein files show a network of global elites operating with little accountability... and Randy Andy makes an out of court settlement of £10M. Julian Assange has suggested that no Epstein files has been released, because the FBI wants to have the power of blackmail over those celebrities who visited Epstein island.

The UK grooming gang scandals exposed how cultural sensitivities and institutional fear allowed the abuse of vulnerable girls to go unchecked for years. P. Diddy has faced allegations echoing those same themes of manipulation, control, and silence, while the Weinstein revelations opened the floodgates on Hollywood’s predatory culture. Together, these stories reveal not isolated failures, but a pattern, when influence shields the powerful, the powerless pay the price.

This convergence points to a deeper moral malaise, a corrosion of values in Western society where the protection of reputation, profit, and political expediency consistently outweigh justice and human dignity.

Institutions once trusted to uphold the law or speak truth, media, law enforcement, governments, are often complicit through neglect or active suppression... in the case of the Stockport killings. The public's growing cynicism reflects this rot; faith in fairness and accountability is eroded every time a high-profile abuser escapes consequences or a victim is disbelieved. The West faces a reckoning, not just with individual predators, but with the moral architecture that allowed them to thrive.

Out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.

Everything changes but everything stays the same.

I think Assange may have hit the nail on the head. I was recommended this book, which explores that very topic in forensic detail:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Nation-Und ... 1634243013

I've not read it yet, so cannot comment, but the premise certainly doesn't sound far fetched.

He's so all over those files
