NOVANEWS
Well, that was bloody insane – all of it.
But then we appear to be living in an insane asylum in which the inmates have taken control.
If you ever needed a more perverse and overt expression of the incestousness nature of the Trump/Netanyahu relationship – and indeed of the Zionist/End-Timers fanaticism that I keep talking about here – it was in the last couple of days, which saw the official ceremony for the new US embassy in Jerusalem, accompanied by the deaths of dozens of Palestinian protesters.
I don’t want to keep re-writing the same points over again, so I’ve re-posted below (in full) the older article on Jerusalem, the embassy move, and more importantly the Judeao-Christian Zionist plan to seize the Temple Mount and pave the way for the ‘rapture’, the Second Coming and the Biblical Apocalypse.
I’ve covered that matter several times here before, including crucially in the ‘Seeds of Fascism’ article, which laid out the reality of the extremist-Zionist takeover of Israel (which a former Israeli Prime Minister had in fact warned us about), as well as that government’s involvement in the rise of Far-Right ‘populism’ across the West and the growth of European Zionism, the Trump/Kushner/Netanyahu factor, the Zionist sponsorship of the so-called ‘Alt Right’, and – importantly – how it all related directly to the Zionist plan to violate international law and seize the Temple Mount and Jerusalem.
If anyone never read that very detailed article, it is worth doing so for very important context (read it here).
On the Trump administration’s alliance with the right-wing government in Israel (and the US media’s clever use of ‘Russia-Gate’ to obscure the reality of ‘Israel-Gate’), that was covered here, while the subject of the Trump regime’s outsourcing of US foreign policy to Israel was covered in the article about the Iran Nuclear Deal here.
For the record, I wrote here, weeks before Trump’s inauguration as President, that we were about to see a “Christian-Zionist Crusade” unfold (accompanied by a continuing Neo-Con/PNAC agenda): and now that predicted lunacy appears to be in full swing.
Below is the re-post of the article on the orchestrated apocalypse scenario that evangelical Christian Zionists have been seeking in Jerusalem – to bring about the End of Days.
I only want to preface that with a brief (and relevant) note on the events two days ago in Jerusalem.
The ceremony, which featured a jubilant Netanyahu and Jared Kushner (former house-mates, you know), also featured two very interesting guest speakers: specifically high-profile (and super-wealthy) American evangelical preachers (and professed Christian Zionists) John Hagee and Robert Jeffress.
Hagee has been an infamous Christian Zionist and Rapture-enthusiast for many years and is in fact one of the most important figures in both American Zionism and evangelical ‘End-Times’ fascination, while Jeffress (pastor of a Dallas ‘mega church’) famously heralded Donald Trump’s inauguration as having been ordained by God, regarding Trump as a divinely-guided saviour figure whose arrival was a pointer to the imminent return of Jesus.
–
I note these details here, because they reinforce perfectly the themes and content of the article below. Hagee, who was inivted to perform the ceremony’s final ‘blessing’, proclaimed (as dozens of Palestinian protesters were being pummelled nearby) “The Messiah will come and establish a Kingdom that will never end”. The highlight of his contribution was a rock-star-like sing-along with the crowd of “Israel Lives, Israel Lives!”
There’s no question whatsoever that Hagee and Jeffress were someone‘s very deliberate choice of speakers for this event: anyone could have been invited to speak, including any number of more moderate, intelligent or refrained invididuals. Indeed, given the inflammatory nature of the entire event, more sophisticated minds might’ve been more careful to have a low-key, less over-the-top event. Instead, the US and Israeli officials involved wanted a big, provocative event – and there’s no doubt at all that Hagee and Jeffress were invited to make a very deliberate impression and capture a very specific mood.
If it wasn’t so serious (and if so many protesters hadn’t been killed while this event was going on), the whole affair would almost have seemed like a nightmarish parody – or something like a Mel Brooks spoof of an evangelical Zionist event. But this surreal sense of deadly parody has been the tone of everything ever since Donald Trump won the presidential election – every embarassing, painful or ominous element of this affair was already foreshadowed entirely by the farce of Trump’s inauguration a year ago (which I observed with real concern at the time here), which – fittingly enough – had involved Pastor Jeffress making an unhinged, apocalyptic sermon.
My friend James at the Crimes of Empire site summarised John Hagee’s role aptly in this old article: ‘John Hagee is one of the most popular and aggressive proponents of the Christian Zionist abomination in the US today. Hagee’s task appears to be to keep as many of the apparently ignorant Christians of the US safely in thrall to the Zionist project as possible…‘
Also, just to reinforce the absurdity of both Christian ‘End-Times’ Zionism and its alliance with more logical Jewish Zionism that the article below touches on, Jeffress had once proclaimed that Jews cannot be saved and will burn in Hell, while Hagee was widely reported to have proclaimed that Hitler had been sent by God to drive Jews into their ancestral homeland of Israel (so that Jesus could come and eventually smite them all).
And these are the two clowns someone decided would be perfect to grace the opening of the illegal US Embassy in Jerusalem – what a world we live in! On another note, if Hagee – who said Hitler was God’s vehicle for enabling Zionism – was invited to grace the embassy opening, why on earth is Ken Livingstone (who merely said that Hitler had favoured mass Jewish emigration to Palestine) still barred from the Labour Party and being called an ‘anti-Semite’?
Surely, if the evidence of the last couple of days is anything to go by, the present Israeli officials adore Anti-Semites?
Anyway, I can’t contemplate any of this fucking stupid nonsense anymore without my head exploding. So, below is a handy guide to Jerusalem and the orchestrated Christian apocalypse that is presumably set to be played out some time in the next few years.
At least it’ll make John Hagee extremely happy.

Why JERUSALEM is So Important to the Apocalypse Fantasists…
Jerusalem is regarded as an international city, under a world body protectorate.
That is its prevailing status.
The United Nations has affirmed in a number of resolutions that continued Zionist colonisation of Jerusalem is illegal under international law. Every Zionist settlement in illegally occupied East Jerusalem is a direct contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which forbids an occupying power from transferring colonists into the areas it occupies.
The UN Partition Plan in 1947 – which divided Palestine between Jewish and Arab states – was clear to grant Jerusalem special status, placing it under international sovereignty and control. To some, this situation isn’t ideal – but to most, it’s the situation that works.
This special status was based on the historic city’s cultural and religious importance to Muslims, Christians and Jews, meaning that no one party should have control over it. Jerusalem houses some of the most important buildings or locations in all three religions and has always been a melting pot of all three – and other – communities.
Apart from Donald Trump, no leader or country in the world recognises Israeli claims to Jerusalem – and no country has its embassy in Jerusalem (including, at this time, the United States).
Juan Cole does a good job of laying out the case here way back in 2010 for why East Jerusalem doesn’t belong to Israel.
It is generally understood that Israel has no legally recognised claim to Jerusalem, that annexation of Jerusalem was never part of any internationally-recognised agreement, that every Zionist settlement or house in occupied Jerusalem is illegal, and that any Israeli move to annex Jerusalem will have dire consequences.
Zionist agents in various countries, however, have been openly pushing for the annexation of Jerusalem in recent years. In fact, various political figures or parties (the Austrian Far-Right, for example) have gone to Israel and made “the Jerusalem Declaration”.
Trump isn’t the only one. Geert “What We Need is Zionism For Europe” Wilders was calling for complete Israeli annexation during his bid to win the recent Dutch election, while Trump has previously expressed support for the Zionist claim to seize Jerusalem and make it the Israeli state capital and Jewish national capital – in keeping with Biblical Prophecy and evangelical ‘End Times’ agenda.
An alternate title for this article could be ‘Armageddon – an organised event starring the fanatical zealots of all three Abrahamic religions’. And, of course, it has to center on Jerusalem. Where else?
–
And that’s what’s scary. Even Donald Trump, in all his cluelessness, surely understands that there’s nothing non-dangerous or non-loaded about making toxic and unnecessary statements about that city. It’s as if the cheerleaders for the apocalypse are all getting geared up for the big event, doing whatever they now can to push it into motion.
The underlying reason for the longstanding Zionist/nationalist agenda for occupying Jerusalem is to seize the Temple Mount and rebuild Solomon’s Temple – an event that relates to the coming of the Jewish Messiah (and for Christian Zionists, to the Second Coming of Christ).
What is extraordinarily stupid about this is that those two ideas or expectations – the coming of the Jewish Messiah and the Second Coming of Jesus – are fundamentally contradictory.
Nonetheless, for a good understanding of the true nature of this Zionist/American agenda for the ‘Holy Land’, see Grace Halsell’s article here, or seek out his book Forcing God’s Hand, which exposes the strange alliance between millions of ‘born again’ American Christians who long for the ‘Rapture’ and ‘Armageddon’ and believe it all hinges on the land of Israel.
The main problem with this idea of rebuilding Solomon’s Temple is of course that it will require the demolition of the Al-Aqsa mosque – an act that could potentially set off a religious/sectarian conflict like nothing seen in recent times.
That’s kind of the point, however.

Victoria Clark’s 2007 book, Allies for Armageddon: The Rise of Christian Zionism, is also a good resource for understanding the apocalyptic/religious dynamics of the Zionist/US alliance in regard to the Holy Land.
Again, in this context, we should remind ourselves that President Trump (backed by the Zionist propagandist and apocalypse-enthusiast Steve Bannon) did express his support for Jerusalem being seized and made the Israeli capital quite some time ago. This isn’t some new, shocking thing – as the MSM seems to think it is – but has always been a stated part of the Trump/Bannon/Kushner agenda.
Which is why it is no surprise that both Bannon and Kushne
