Pope Leo XIV's Visit to Istanbul and Iznik for the Nicene
Declaration of Faith (Credo ):
Heartland, Rimland Geopolitics
and Religions
By Ret Admiral Cem Gürdeniz
Pope Leo
XIV's visit to Istanbul and Iznik on November 28, 2025, for the 1700th
anniversary of the Nicene Declaration of Faith (Credo)—in which Jesus was
declared to be of the same essence as God—is not merely a simple act of
faith.
At the same time, the gathering in Iznik of the representatives of the
Catholic and Orthodox Churches, which separated 971 years ago by mutually
excommunicating each other (the Great Schism), is a serious move that
contributes to the geopolitics of the rimland encircling the Western
heartland in today's world, where the pains of establishing a multipolar
global order are being experienced. This move draws its power from the
mind of the hegemon who instrumentalizes revelation.
Bible Believers'
Comment: This image depicts our Lord Jesus Christ 4BC – AD30 clasping
the Logos in company with three heretics: a rabbi representing all who
swore "His blood be upon us, and on our children" (Matthew
27:22-25; Revelation 6:11; 7:3-8; 15:2-4), Rome's Pope and an Orthodox
Patriarch each with conflicting trinities.
The Apostle Simon Peter 1BC – AD64 never set foot in Rome and did not
believe any trinity of gods, Babylonian or otherwise (Revelation 17),
300 years after Jesus "was taken up" Peter was martyred
by carnal men who organized the Roman Universal Church at the First
Nicaea Council in AD325 for Emperor Constantine who was never a
Christian.
The First Pope was Boniface III (AD607) (60-1207, The Pergamean Church
Age, par. 280). Boniface obtained a decree from Emperor Phocas which
restated that "the See of Blessed Peter the Apostle should be the head of
all the Churches." Thus ensuring the title "Universal Bishop"
belonged exclusively to the bishop of Rome, and effectively ended the
attempt by Patriarch Cyriacus of Constantinople to establish himself as
Universal Bishop.
Voluminous minutes of the Nicene and Anti-Nicene fathers record how two
men held the floor; Arius proposed a flawed "oneness" doctrine while the
more eloquent Athanasius upheld the pagan trinity doctrine and was
supported by Jewry whose objective was to destroy the new faith.
Christ's Church was born in Jerusalem on Pentecost AD30 by a clear
understanding of the revealed Word of God. "Then they that gladly
received Peter's word were baptized: and the same day there were added
unto them about 3,000 souls" (Acts 2:41). The faith of three thousand
saints was that Jesus Christ is the sole Person of God manifest in
flesh as Adam's near Kinsman Redeemer to pay sin's price and redeem God's
elect (Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:18; Mark 12:28-30; Ephesians 3:9, 4:5;
Colossians 3:15-17; Revelation 1:8).
Matthew 1:18 says Mary "was found with child of the Holy Ghost."
But Jesus, Himself, claimed that God was His Father. God the Father and
God the Holy Ghost, as we often express these terms, make the Father and
the Spirit ONE. Indeed they are, or else Jesus had two Fathers. In John
10:30 Jesus said "I and My Father are one," not two. That makes
ONE God.
Trinity is an absolutely unscriptural word based upon the many gods of
Rome and absent the Bible. Trinity is the antediluvian religion revived
by Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis, Tamuz "husband of the mother" (Ezekiel 8:14).
This is "the mark of the beast" (Revelation 13:15-18). The sinful
act in Iznik on November 28, 2025 will be the abrogation of Jesus'
command for Christians to come out from Roman Catholicism "MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS (her denominational daughter
churches) AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" (Revelation 17:5). Every
facet of life is being bound in one satanic world system . . . one UN,
one WHO, one government, digital currency, one Great Tribulation
(Jeremiah 30:7; 51:37). The world has lived under the Fourth and
final Gentile World Empire of Rome since the Thyatira Church Age in
AD606.
The trinitarian formula of baptism is unscriptural and not in the Acts
of the Apostles. Father, Son and Holy Ghost are three of many titles
or offices of God. His compound redemptive Name is Lord Jesus Christ
(Mark 24:47, Acts 2:36-41). Satan is a liar and the father of lies and
whenever he comes with any light it is still a lie. He is a murderer. And
his doctrine of the trinity has destroyed the multitudes and will destroy
until Jesus comes.
Pentecost ran from AD30 – 53, followed by the Ephesian Church Age to
AD170, the angel was Paul, Iranius was the angel to the Smyrna Church Age
170 – 312, the Roman Catholic church was organized 300 years after
Jesus was "taken up." The angel of Pergamean Church Age
312 – 606, was Martin. The angel to the Thyatira Church Age 606 – 1520
was Columba, the angel to the Sardis Church Age 1520 – 1850 was Martin
Luther, the angel to the Philadelphian Church Age 1850 – 1906 was John
Wesley, and finally the Laodicean Church Age 1906 – 1963 whose angel was
the prophet William Marrion Branham with the fourth Elijah anointing to
foreran Christ's Second Coming in 1963 (Genesis 18:17; Isaiah 48:5; Amos
3:7; Malachi 4:5, 6b; Matthew 17:11; John 16:13-15; Revelation 10:7).
Christians rest upon faith; we neither believe dogma nor recite manmade
creeds. All Seven Church Ages are fulfilled: Christ is no longer in the
Office Son of God and Mediator; He is Son of Man and Judge.
The Return of Religion to Geopolitics
In the light of what has been emphasized above, we can identify
theological, geopolitical, eschatological and psychological dimensions in
a theological message in the return to Nicaea—the place where the first
Christian dogma was codified; a geopolitical message in the attempt to
legitimize the Fener Orthodox Patriarchate as a fully politicized
institution by bringing it along as the representative of the East; and
an eschatological message in the attempt to re-establish East–West Church
unity.
Today, religion is used extensively—both in eschatological
(apocalyptic-centered liberation narratives) and theopolitical (directing
politics in search of divine legitimacy) forms—in politics, the economy,
war and the construction of social identity, at a time when global
hegemony is changing hands. In a sense, today's geopolitical conditions
are being carried back 400 years to the religious, pre-Westphalian (1648)
era. Now, revelation is treated as science; faith has replaced thought.
Politicians do not mind this, because religion—especially for finance
capital—is never an end, but a perfect instrument of governance.
In earlier centuries, religion was the main source of legitimacy for
state sovereignty; kings ruled in the name of God, and wars were waged
for the sake of "truth and religion". The Westphalian order destroyed
this theopolitical unity, introduced the principle of secular
sovereignty, and formally separated religion from politics. However,
today, the ruptures in the global order, crises of hegemony and identity
conflicts have once again made religion a political tool. Thus, the world
is abandoning the secular framework of modernity and entering a period in
which the concepts of God, destiny and salvation are once again at the
center of geopolitical language, just as they were before Westphalia.
Another feature of this period is that, while the influence of religion
continues to increase in every field, corruption, immorality and collapse
also grow. It is as if these two domains—religion and decay—are competing
with one another.
Bible Believers' Comment: Our author confuses religion with
Christianity. However all religion is of the Devil, and the visit of the
American Pope Leo XIV to (Nicaea) Iznik is not of God Who is unchanging
in Word, thought and deed.
The Changing Global Order
The first quarter of the 21st century is a period of restructuring in
which world politics, the economy and the military balances are rapidly
changing. The shift of production and trade centers to Asia, the creation
of new corridors by energy and financial flows, and the challenge to
American maritime dominance in the Western Pacific, the Arctic and the
Red Sea are transforming the infrastructure of the global order.
The neoliberal paradigm was shaken by the 2008 crisis and collapsed with
the pandemic, energy shocks and regional wars. The sevenfold increase in
financial assets compared to the real economy and the peak of income
inequality demonstrate the system's unsustainability. The USA is no
longer the sole superpower; it is weakening under a weakening dollar,
debt burden, social polarization and deindustrialization. Its navy has
shrunk and lost its capacity to wage war on three fronts simultaneously.
Technological superiority no longer guarantees victory; asymmetric
resistance models and strategic patience have come to the fore.
While China and Russia advance with long-term strategies, the USA and the
West attempt to maintain dominance by continuously generating crises,
which in turn deepens global chaos. On the other hand, the Iran–Israel
war and the Red Sea crises have shattered the West's image of
invincibility. Israel's inclusion in the geopolitical equation with its
eschatological and financial power has further complicated the process.
The USA, like every hegemon whose economic, moral, political and military
system is decaying and moving toward inevitable collapse, is trying to
use time in its favor: to reposition itself for the new era and to close
this period with the least possible damage. It is not simply US hegemony
that is collapsing; rather, the 500-year Atlantic age, which began with
the Age of Discoveries, is giving way to Asia.
Today, the cycle of war, credit, debt and arms sales has become a vital
tool for the oligarchy of finance capital, which is never satisfied with
ordinary profit. However, the West is no longer strong enough to maintain
its five-century hegemony. With the Ukraine war that began in 2022, the
global showdown continues—and the West has effectively lost this war.
Why is Religion being Politicized?
The main reason for the intensive use of religion as a political tool
today is that it helps to make societies forget their socio-economic
problems—income inequality, the withdrawal of the state from health and
education, and the normalization of shrinking union and social rights—by
placing them into a fatalistic cycle. In this way, religion serves to
cool the energy of the boiling masses. At the same time, through the
polarization it creates, it helps legitimize the war waged for the
impoverished masses.
For example, a fundamentalist Israeli, a Muslim Palestinian has no
value. Moreover, although both are Orthodox Christians, Ukrainian
Orthodox churches and patriarchs have been divided and turned into
enemies. Similarly, Catholic Ukrainians living in the West may hate
Russian-speaking Orthodox Ukrainians living in the East.
Bible Believers' Comment: Truthfully the Ukraine is Khazaria,
homeland of non-Semitic anti-Semitic, often Mongoloid Israeli
so-called Jews. The 1973 Encyclopedia Judaica, Encyclopedia
Britannica and The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia state that 90% of
Israeli 'Jews' in Israel are non-Semitic imposters with no history in the
Middle East. The Jewish encyclopedia's statistical authorities and
researchers in DNA say 90% of Israelis and Jews are non-Semitic with no
history in the Middle East. Cairo's Ain Shams University's Middle East
Research Center says 95% of Jews are not Israelites but foreigners of
mixed races as per British anthropologist James Fenton's 1966 paper.
Shlomo Sand, post-Zionist historian, socialist and emeritus Professor of
History at Tel Aviv University since 2014 wrote in "The Invention of
the Jewish People": The 'Diaspora' is a misnomer. Mass conversions
into Jewry (and some out of it) put the bulk of Zionist migration and War
refugee settlement of Israel as interlopers." They are Japhetic or
physical Serpent's seed like the fair-skinned blue-eyed Khazars from the
Ukraine and Poland.
Iraqis, Iranians, Syrians, Lebanese, Yeminis and Palestinians are
Semitic as are most Saudis and Jordanians. Religion is not race. Any
Israelite living outside the Promised Land is a hypocrite and apostate
without God's Covenant which is of no effect outside Israel. The Gentile
dispensation will soon end and the Lord Jesus Christ, Israel's rejected
and crucified near Kinsman Redeemer will turn to Israel with Moses and
Elijah in "the time of Jacob's trouble" to call an election of
twelve thousand from each Tribe. Precisely 144,000, and they will be
martyred according to their oath (John 11:47-51; Revelation 7:-8). The
prophet said, "Many Jews in the United States (which they won't escape
from)" (54-0103M, Q&A 1, par. 235).
Religion is being politicized because it is so obviously false and
contrary to God's unchanging Word. Roman and Orthodox churches
worship a non-existent trinity of gods unsupported by any Bible. Being
omniscient, God is not now thinking or even taking counsel with Himself;
His thoughts are eternal and they are real. He has not had a new thought
since "the beginning." And if ever you have Eternal Life, you had
it with Him then, for "to redeem" means to restore and reinstate
to the original owner something that had been stolen, forfeited, or lost.
Jesus came as our KINSMAN Redeemer to redeem us back to the eternal Life
whence we had fallen, the glorified form of the man or woman God saw in
His great thinking before the foundation of the world. To this purpose
God was manifest through the virgin birth to pay the price of your
unbelief and redeem you to that state (II Corinthians 5:19).
"Evangelization" is Zionism (1897) in illegitimate union with bastardized
Christianity and is younger than Islam AD610). Zionism is a materialist
oxymoron (Amos 3:3), not a religion.
The Reconciliation of Jesus and Judas in the USA
Today, the USA is one of the countries where religion is used most
intensively in politics. In this context, two obvious reasons stand out
for the rise of religion: the increasing influence of Israel and Zionism
in the USA, and the collapse of US hegemony. As the collapse accelerates,
clinging to religion increases.
Religion has become so prominent in the USA over the last 75 years that,
with the rise of Evangelicalism, the political and theological
rapprochement between the Christian world and the Jewish tradition has
become one of the main pillars of Western ideology under the name
"Judeo-Christianity".
Evangelicalism, also referred to as Christian Zionism, politically links
the promises of the Old Testament to the State of Israel and centers on
the belief that the Jewish people are "God's chosen nation". Two separate
revelations, which had been hostile to each other for centuries, have now
become one body. The Old and New Testaments are now treated as one
unified narrative.
For centuries, Christianity's deep-rooted tradition of hatred and
exclusion of Jews—symbolized through Judas—was radically reversed in the
USA due to the moral shock caused by the Holocaust, the ideological needs
of the Cold War, the evangelical eschatological view that "Israel must be
strengthened for the return of the Messiah", and the influence of the
American Jewish community in media, academia and finance. Thus, the
concept of "Judeo-Christianity", which never existed in historical
reality, was deliberately constructed in the mid-20th century through
political engineering, intelligence apparatuses and evangelical
apocalyptic theology, and was embedded into the ideological foundations
of American identity.
While the feeling of guilt after the Holocaust offered the West an
opportunity for moral rehabilitation, US strategists gathered Christians
and Jews into a single bloc against communism under the slogan of a
"God-believing Western civilization". The post-1967 evangelical movement
declared Israel a necessary actor in the apocalyptic process. The
American Jewish community, which held significant influence over much of
the cultural sphere, carried this new narrative of unity into all layers
of society.
In this way, it formed the ideological backbone of today's American
foreign policy, Middle East strategy and the Zionist–Evangelical
alliance. With the contribution of the finance-capital oligarchy,
imperialism transformed Islam—a religion of conscience and peace—into an
ideology of armed struggle, especially after the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan. Western intelligence organizations took this even further,
exposing these groups to terrorism and using them for their own
interests. It is striking, for instance, that ISIS has not attacked
Israel even once. How else can one explain the fact that former al-Qaeda
commander Jolani was effectively whitewashed and given legitimacy in
Western media and politics as the President of today's Syria?
Today, neocons, evangelicals, Zionists, Masonic structures and
techno-feudal elites in the USA are all waging a power struggle, each
using religion with different agendas.
Bible Believers' Comment: Precisely which holocaust shocked you?
Was it the holocaust of six million in World War I? The holocaust of six
million in the Jewish-ruled Soviet Union between the wars? The holocaust
of six million in World War II? Or the Six million relocated from Poland
to Israel? Despite all of this Jewish population worldwide increased
in World War II. Or the millions of Germans who perished in Eisenhower's death camps
in Germany and France? Or are you grieving Talmud's Gittin 57b that
states Vespasian killed 4 billion Jews in the city of Bethar, or
that Hadrian slaughtered 1.2 million Jews in Alexandria. Talmud's
account in Gittin 58a that claims the Romans wrapped 64 million Jewish
children in scrolls and burned them alive although ancient demography
indicates there were not 64 million Jews in the entire world at that
time, much less 64 million Jewish children, or four billion Jews?
The Awakening of the Philosophical Society: China
In this multi-layered, uncertain and complex process, the most important
competitor of the USA is China. Unlike the West—which interrupted its
secularization process and turned into a fundamentalist and warlike
religious society—China, traditionally a philosophical civilization, has
effectively replaced the USSR in Cold War geopolitics, albeit with a
crucial difference.
China, which practises state capitalism, is not an ideological competitor
to the USA. The competition is over the establishment of a global order
whose economic and military dimensions will inevitably have far-reaching
consequences. This challenge is not a simple one. It is not easy for
Western hegemony, which has accumulated 500 years of financial capital
through colonialism, dozens of regional wars, two world wars and a cold
war, to accept defeat.
In this struggle, war, terrorism, religion, coups, embargoes, sanctions,
drugs, mafia networks, false-flag operations and every conceivable method
will be tried and are being tried.
The West That Cannot Get Enough War
Today, seven major wars/crises constitute the main battlefields of
Western hegemony: Ukraine, Iran, Gaza, Taiwan, the South China Sea, the
Red Sea and Venezuela. Every crisis in these areas has been triggered by
the West.
Without the 2014 Kiev coup in Ukraine and NATO's expansion, Russia would
not have intervened in the Donbas region to protect ethnic Russians. If
Israel, under the full protection and support of the USA, recognized a
Palestinian state, abandoned the Greater Israel project and lived
peacefully with its neighbors—especially Lebanon—in the Eastern
Mediterranean, it would not have turned the region into a bloodbath
bordering on genocide, nor would it have carried out a surprise attack on
Iran. In such a situation, the Yemeni Houthis would not have closed the
Red Sea through asymmetric warfare.
If the USA had continued to recognize the Chinese maritime jurisdictional
zones in the South China Sea—which it did from 1945 onward—and had not
provoked change in Taiwan's status under the One-China policy, and if it
had not sent its own warships and those of former colonial powers
(France, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany) to the region under the name
of "freedom of navigation" (FON), these waters—through which 5 trillion
dollars of trade passes annually—would not have turned into high-risk
areas.
Similarly, the situation would have been different if the USA had not
been driven by a sense of revenge against Maduro, who has defied the
American regime, and by its ambition to control the world's largest and
highest-quality oil reserves in Venezuela.
Why does the USA want these crises and wars? There are three main
reasons: the first is geopolitical, the second financial, and the third
religious (eschatological).
Geopolitical Reasons
When monotheistic religions emerged, humanity had not yet begun to fight
for dominance on the oceans. The 15th century—known as the Age of
Discoveries—marked a turning point. Many cultures, such as the Vikings,
Arabs and Chinese, had made transoceanic voyages before this century, but
these voyages did not turn into systematic state policy. The global order
was Eurasia-centric. For the 4.5-billion-year-old planet, the World
Island (Asia, Europe and Africa) remained the geopolitical center until
the 15th century. These three continents, connected by the Silk Road and
the Spice Road, formed the core of the global economy. China, the Turkic
world and India were the economic and civilizational centers of global
history. Global balance was achieved through polycentric land-based
networks.
The process that began with the transoceanic voyages and discoveries
initiated by Columbus at the end of the 15th century disrupted this
balance. There were not many "undiscovered" places in the world; rather,
for the first time, the European world tried to reach the West and
establish a systematic colonial order using state and Church power
together. Thus, the different centres of the World Island began to be
encircled by oceanic powers.
According to Halford Mackinder, who lived at the turn
of the 19th–20th centuries, these three continents—the World Island—were
of central geopolitical importance because they contained most of the
world's population, resources and productive power. The American
continents and Australia, which surround the World Island, were defined
as "outer islands" or "fringe islands". Therefore, in his strategic
formula, Mackinder defines the "Heartland that governs Eastern
Europe"—that is, the area protected by natural defensive barriers
extending roughly from the Volga to Siberia and from the Himalayas to the
Arctic Ocean—as follows: "Whoever controls the Heartland rules the World
Island (Eurasia and Africa), and whoever rules the World Island rules the
world." With the industrial revolutions and capitalism's transition to
the imperialist stage, the thesis that "who controls the oceans controls
the world" gained prominence. In this way, Britain kept Europe fragmented
for 150 years, controlled the world's seas and key maritime choke points,
and ruled an empire of 21 million square kilometers over which the sun
never set.
In this process, Britain sought to move eastward toward the Heartland. In
the 19th century it clashed with Napoleonic France, and in the 20th
century with Hitler's Germany. However, it conducted its decisive wars
mainly at sea. Except for Waterloo (1815), the British Army did not win
many major battles in continental Europe. Yet British strategists knew
that, if Eurasia were to unite, their maritime empire would collapse,
because the resources and depth of Eurasia gave it a unique capacity for
long-term resistance and power projection.
Throughout history, powers that arose in Europe and penetrated deep into
Asia have been defeated for this very reason. Napoleon and Hitler both
tried this and lost.
After 1945, the USA took over Britain's paradigm. By controlling the
littoral belt—Spykman's rimland, where the World Island meets the sea—and
implementing Mahan's theory of sea power, it established dominance over
the oceans, prevented the unification of Eurasia and blocked Asian powers
from going to sea.
In this process, the USA persistently tried to divide Asia to maintain
the 500-year maritime superiority of the West it represented. But this
success lasted only about 75 years. In other words, the USA and the West,
through a series of strategic mistakes, have today triggered the
unification of the Asian powers. For example, the Ukraine war, encouraged
through NATO enlargement, led to Russia's full separation from Europe,
its return to Asia and its rapprochement with China—thus accelerating
Eurasian integration.
Today, in Eurasia, a new continental order in finance, energy, data and
logistics is being built around the axis of Russia, China, India, Iran,
the BRICS and the SCO. In other words, the emerging structure is a
polycentric continental partnership leading to a multi polar world order.
In addition to its economic growth, two important geopolitical factors
act as force multipliers in this process: China's expansion from the
Western Pacific into the world's oceans as a rising maritime power, and
Russia's full control of the Arctic coasts and its opening of the new
Northern Sea Route to international shipping.
Thus, geopolitical superiority today is shifting from mere naval
supremacy toward the efficiency and density of logistical cycles linking
the continents. China is simultaneously building land-based communication
networks and blocking maritime dominance through BRI.
The USA itself triggered the rise of Asia during a period of constant
wars. Now, it is trying to do to China what Britain did 100 years ago to
prevent Germany from becoming a major naval power. In this process, it is
trying to wear down Russia so that it remains weak in the final
confrontation with China.
It is pursuing a strategy to prevent China from gaining time: balancing
China with its proxies without letting it reach a critical threshold and
using military, financial and technological instruments—above all, by
shaping perceptions through the media. Still, this time-buying strategy
is not enough to construct a secure future. The most striking factor in
this process is that both global finance and global media are largely
under the command and control of Zionist and Anglo-Saxon centers.
Finance-Capital Factors
The City of London and Wall Street form the two main axes of global
finance capital, determining world capital flows, investment norms and
the overall financial order. The City of London has established
historical hegemony over international banking, derivatives markets,
insurance, offshore tax regimes, shipping finance and the global
legal–financial architecture; Wall Street, thanks to the dollar's status
as a reserve currency, exercises hegemonic power through the combination
of giant investment funds, stock exchanges, credit rating agencies and
technology–finance (fintech) institutions that steer global liquidity.
Working together, these two centres regulate the cross-border movement of
capital, shape the borrowing costs of states, control global risk
appetite, indirectly influence geopolitical decisions, and create a
"supranational corporate finance network" that transcends the economic
sovereignty of nation-states. In this sense, they maintain their
character as the command-and-control centres of modern capitalism. The
Vatican, as a major financial-capital owner, also occupies an important
position and role within this structure.
Although the Ukraine war and regional conflicts are ostensibly explained
by geopolitical reasons, the real determining dynamic behind them is the
interests of finance capital, which has historically been on the side of
wars. This structure, which acts with the aim of continuous expansion and
profit increase, encourages wars for new markets, raw material sources
and easily indebted countries, and uses war as a mechanism of economic
revitalization in times of crisis. The way the USA overcame the 1929
Great Depression through the Second World War is a typical example.
Today, against a real global economy that produces about 110 trillion
dollars of output, a derivatives volume of around 730 trillion dollars
has been created. This enormous financial power has turned into an
oligarchy largely controlled by American-and British-based, banks, funds
(mainly owned by Jews) and technology–finance giants. This structure has
the capacity to influence governments, elections, coups and war
decisions.
Although the need for security decreased after the Cold War, NATO has
transformed into a geopolitical executive tool for finance capital's
demand for sustainable threats, continuous armament and ever-rising
defense budgets; it has effectively adopted war as its raison d'être. The
"cheap blood" strategy of the collective West in Ukraine, the pressure on
Europe to increase defense spending, and the attrition line pursued by
the USA from the Pacific to the Middle East are all part of the effort to
maintain the global hegemony of finance capital.
Today, the rise of Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and
various resistance centres has changed the balance of power. Yet the war-
economy approach of finance capital is based not on closing conflicts but
on opening new fronts to protect the hegemonic order. In this framework,
it is this oligarchic structure—not nation-states—that ultimately
determines when wars end.
Eschatological (Apocalyptic) Factors
When we look at today's geopolitics, we see a picture reminiscent of the
religion-based power struggles of the pre-Westphalia period of 1648.
Different faith communities around the world today feed the same
explosive dream, even though they appear disconnected from one another.
Evangelicals in the USA and Latin America speak of the second coming of
Jesus Christ and the war of Armageddon. Messianic Zionists in Israel
await a Messiah from the Davidic line and the construction of the Third
Temple. The Shiite world anticipates the appearance of the Mahdi, and a
significant portion of the Sunni world expects the Mahdi–Jesus duo in the
"end times," which will "fill the earth with justice". In short, millions
of people in different geographies believe that history will at some
point be reset by a great divine showdown and a bloody finale.
When this expectation—especially in the Evangelical–Zionist bloc—ceases
to be a mere personal faith and begins to seep into state strategy and
security doctrines, Armageddon transforms from a symbolic prophecy into
an active mindset that shapes geopolitical roadmaps, war decisions,
alliance patterns and enemy definitions. This is where the danger begins:
revelation texts, doomsday scenarios and hadith corpora can start to take
precedence over sober reasoning, rational risk assessment and
international law.
Since 2000, and especially in the new period shaped by the neocons after
September 11, 2001, the increasing influence of evangelicals on the White
House, the Pentagon and Congress; the theological partnership with
Israel; the declaration of Jerusalem as its capital; preparations for the
Third Temple; red heifer rituals; Armageddon discourse; and the West
Asian wars justified in terms of "God's plan" all evoke the same dilemma
that haunted the Thirty Years' War: "sect or hegemony?" Both faith and
power-sharing struggles are intertwined.
Just as papal or imperial edicts determined political and military
decisions before Westphalia, so today the discourse emanating from
Washington, from Israeli–Evangelical lobbies and from tech corporations
infuses concepts such as "God's calendar", "Armageddon", "chosen nation"
and "return of Christ" into the implicit justification of geopolitical
decisions. From Ukraine to Iran, from Gaza to the Taiwan Strait,
theological images such as "good vs. evil" and "order vs. chaos" operate
alongside geopolitical interest calculations on many crisis lines.
Global finance capital, under the strong influence of Zionist and
Anglo-Saxon structures, instrumentalize not only money, media and
technology, but also religion. This oligarchic network, which is in close
contact with US, UK and Israeli intelligence services, contributes to
scenarios designed to enable geopolitical interventions through the
petrodollar system, Gulf capital foundations and crypto–offshore
networks. It also helps create a climate of fear that legitimizes a
technocratic surveillance regime in the West.
Thus, the obedience generated by religious groups that commit radical
violence through fatwas and the digital obedience established by
technocracy through data, algorithms and artificial intelligence codes
can become two simultaneous forms of control, nourished by the same
financial arteries. Algorithmic invisibility, media monopolies and the
attention economy keep the "fear economy" alive by concealing the true
intentions of this structure.
In today's world, war and peace are waged not only on land or at sea, but
in mental and perceptual domains. Finance capital uses both religion and
technology together for consciousness management. The resulting
configuration uses the post-Westphalian nation-state system as its formal
shell and the secular language of human rights and democracy as its
discourse. But in substance, as before 1648, it is evolving into a far
more advanced "digital theocracy" that divides the world into "chosen and
damned", "believers and heretics", "God's side and the devil's side", and
fuses algorithms, big data, artificial intelligence and global financial
networks.
Religion has returned to the center of geopolitics, but this time the
pulpit is not only the church; it is also the screen. Its sacred text is
not only the Bible; it is also the code. The crusader army is not
composed only of soldiers; it also consists of capital flows, media
networks and platform economies.
While humanity sits atop thermonuclear weapons, ballistic missile
systems, cyber warfare capabilities and AI-supported targeting
technologies, the fact that an eschatological mindset—"this order will
collapse anyway; God's plan will be completed through war"—takes root
among decision-making elites or among actors who mobilize the masses,
turns every diplomatic crisis into a potential apocalyptic threshold.
Although we live in the information age, deep ignorance, dogmatic
stubbornness and one-dimensional, decontextualized readings of sacred
texts can nevertheless drag a civilization that has already seen
Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the Cuban Missile Crisis back to the edge of the
abyss. In short, as the number of those waiting for the Messiah, the
Mahdi or Jesus increases, to the extent that we allow absolute
interpretations of revelation to prevail over reason, science and a
shared human legal order, the nuclear arsenals and rampant ignorance at
our disposal make the planet more fragile than at any time in
history—dependent on a single wrong decision, a single fanatical move.
Bible Believers' Comment: Christ's Second Coming "as a thief in
the night" (I Thessalonians 5:2) in March 1963 was not His PHYSICAL
(Gk.) 'erchomai' return but His UNSEEN (Gk.) 'parousia'
coming. The revelation of the Seven Seals brought Christ back to earth in
W_O_R_D form through the lips of His prophet. He is present with us
today, yet after 62 years the denominations are ignorant and blinded;
like Israel, they are looking for the wrong thing. They expect to see the
Man slip down from a cloud, yet Jesus said, "Don't look for the
Man" (Matthew 24:22-28; Acts 3:21; II Peter 3:10). Israel has
been blinded over 2,000 years by Talmudic and Edomite 'Jews' at enmity
with God (Genesis 3:15). "The Messiah, the Mahdi and our Lord Jesus
Christ" are essentially one and the same. Edomite and Talmudic so-called
Jews "cut off Messiah" and are desolate under the Roman/fourth
Gentile World Empire whose last Pope will be Satan incarnate (Daniel
7:19-26; 9:26-27; Revelation 13:1-18). With so many contradicting
hadiths, the Mahdi readily lends itself to imposture: Mohammad is not
vindicated.
"Laodicea was the only Church Age that put Jesus out of His church and
found Him knocking at the door trying to get back in. Don't you see the
hour we're living? Wished I could come here for about two or three
weeks just on Bible teaching of prophecy and things [Israel's Seven
Trumpets and the Seven Vials of God's wrath upon the earth]. See where
we're living friends. What's the matter with people? Can't you see we're
at the end time? It's all over. The next thing will be a sweep . . .
In a month or so His Bride will be gone, as soon as She's gathered
together. Well, we're at the end. There's no hope left nowhere. Run to
Christ, people" (62-0518, Letting off the Pressure, par. E-112;
Revelation 3:15-20).
The Pope's Visit to Türkiye
Pope Leo XIV (@Vatican Media)
In the light of what has been emphasized above, we can
identify theological, geopolitical, eschatological and psychological
dimensions in the visit of the American Pope Leo XIV to (Nicaea) Iznik.
There is a theological message in the return to Nicaea—the place where
the first Christian dogma was codified; a geopolitical message in the
attempt to legitimize the Fener Orthodox Patriarchate as a fully
politicized institution by bringing it along as representative of the
East; and an eschatological message in the attempt to re-establish
East–West Church unity.
In this context, by recalling the Council of Nicaea (325 AD), one of
Christianity's most important milestones, the message being conveyed is:
"Just as we were once one, we will be one again." If Evangelicalism has
been able to make two historically hostile religions (Judaism and
Christianity) into allies on American soil after 2,000 years, why should
Catholics and Orthodox Christians not also become one again?
According to this narrative, once unity is achieved, the era of the
return of Jesus Christ begins. Thus, the discourse that "History
continues through the legacy we have established" will be reinforced,
granting the Christian world a sense of psychological superiority. In
other words, Pope Leo XIV's call for a "return to Nicaea" is ultimately
based on the idea of the final reunification of a divided Christianity.
The reunification of the East–West Church, in turn, involves not only
theological goals such as accelerating the doctrine of the second coming
of Christ, but also the reaffirmation of Jerusalem as the central holy
site. For Evangelicals, this would serve to unify the Church, make
Jerusalem the center, and prepare the eschatological finale.
Evangelicalism is now officially embedded in US domestic politics. There
are around 70 million evangelical voters in the USA. They are directly
represented in the Senate and Congress. In his first term, Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo said of President Trump: "God sent Trump to save
Israel." Mike Pence, who was Vice President at the same time, said: "We
have placed Jerusalem in God's calendar." These words were spoken after
Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, in a political
climate where donations from figures such as American casino magnate
Miriam Adelson played a role.
In short, we are living in a period in which religious structures have
reached their highest level of intervention in an extremely complex
geopolitical environment. The universalist–centralized authority emphasis
of the Catholic world represented by the Pope, the ecumenical legitimacy
claims of the Orthodox world, and the apocalyptic, accelerating politics
of the Protestant–Evangelical and Zionist world are now intertwined along
many crisis lines—from West Asia to Eastern Europe, from the Pacific to
the Caucasus.
Thus, the civilizational fault lines described by American historian
Samuel Huntington in his Clash of Civilizations thesis have, when
combined with papal diplomacy, Orthodox ecumenism and the interventionist
politics of evangelical eschatology, pushed modern geopolitics back
toward a pre-1648 theopolitical order. Rational statecraft is being
replaced by scriptural interpretations; security is being replaced by
prophecies; international law is being overshadowed by eschatological
visions. Humanity is entering one of the most dangerous periods in its
history—an era shaped by an irrational amalgam of faith and politics in
the shadow of nuclear weapons.
Bible Believers' Comment: The prophet said, "I believe, one of
these glorious days, when this united confederation of church goes
together, and the new pope is brought out of the United States and put
over there according to prophecy, then they'll form an image like unto
the beast. And I tell you, the true Church of God will be drove
together. The real, true believers out of Methodist, Baptist,
Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, whatever they'll
be, will go together and cemented by the love of God, that'll make the
Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, all the believers. And agnostics and
shallow-minded will be cast to one side; they'll go right on into the
confederation of churches" (54-1219E, Acts of the Holy Spirit, par.12:87;
Revelation 18:1-4).
"Women, given the right to vote, elected President-elect Kennedy—with
the woman's vote, the wrong man, which will finally be to full control of
the Catholic church in the United States; then the bomb comes that
explodes her".
"There's seven things predicted, and five of them has already happened.
So you can judge yourself how far away we are. We're near the end. If
them five things happened, these other two things are bound to happen.
It's just got to happen" (60-1113, Condemnation by Representation, par.
42-43).
"The Laodicean Age began around the turn of the Twentieth Century,
perhaps 1906. How long will it last? As a servant of God who has had
multitudes of visions, of which NONE has ever failed, let me predict (I
did not say prophesy, but predict) that this age will end around 1977. If
you will pardon a personal note here, I base this prediction on seven
major continuous visions that came to me one Sunday morning in June,
1933. The Lord Jesus spoke to me and said that the coming of the Lord was
drawing nigh, but that before He came, seven major events would
transpire. I wrote them all down and that morning I gave forth the
revelation of the Lord. The first vision was that Mussolini would invade
Ethiopia . . ." An
Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, p. 321:2-322:6).
"(The third pull) it's just happened, so it could identify its presence
among you, see, but it will not be used in a great way until this Council
begins to tighten up . . . But when that time comes, when the squeeze
comes down, then you'll see, what you've seen temporarily, be manifested
in the fullness of its power . . . This will be a thing that will start
the Rapturing faith, for the going away . . . There is coming a time
upon, in this nation, to where this nation is going to exercise all the
power that the beast had before it, which was pagan Rome when it become
papal Rome, see, that this nation will do that".
Revelations 13 plainly explains it. "The lamb come up out of the earth.
The other beast come up out of water," thickness and multitudes of
people. This lamb come up where there were no people. A lamb represents a
religion. The Lamb of God . . . And, remember, it spoke like a lamb. It
was a lamb. And then, after a while, it received power, and spoke like a
dragon; and exercised all the power the dragon had before him. And the
dragon is "Rome," always. So don't you see? Roman denomination; "a
mark," Protestant denomination; "a image unto the beast," making a power
that'll force all Protestants, like a union. You'll have to be into this
Council of Churches, or you won't be able to have fellowship" (63-1229E,
Look Away to Jesus, par 39, 43, 45-47).
"Here comes Satan with all four corners of the earth with his Protestants
and with his Catholics, and all together, marching right up to the battle
of Armageddon. All right. And here comes Jesus coming down from heaven
with resurrected saints, vindicated Word."
As I said, "If God speaks and sends you, He backs up what you say." See,
see? Notice,
"Notice now, He's come with resurrected saints, vindicating that His
Word is true. So Satan knows then the bottomless pits is ready for
him. See? Oh, my. While death rode the pale horse, mixed creed and
denominations and followed him . . . Oh, my, the eternal separation from
God, that's where he rode them to eternal separation. Christ rode His
Church right into glory in the resurrection" (63-0321, The fourth Seal,
par. 334-337).
Lessons for Türkiye
The rapid shift of the geopolitical equation in favor of Asia opens a
unique window of opportunity for Türkiye, which must be managed with
great care. Thanks to its unique location between the Heartland and the
Rimland, its energy routes, logistics corridors, trade flows,
defense-industrial capacity and maritime geopolitics, Türkiye should both
increase its strategic autonomy vis-à-vis Western pressures and build
balanced, long-term and egalitarian partnerships with Asian powers.
However, this orientation should not mean a break with the West. Instead
of completely severing relations as the crisis deepens within the
Atlantic system, Türkiye should pursue a "doctrine of balance and
flexibility" that prioritizes national interests while keeping bridges
open. The right path for Türkiye is to benefit from Eurasia's rise
without being locked into a posture of mere opposition to the West; it
should aim to become one of the founding actors of the new world system
with a geopolitical vision centred on multilateral diplomacy, economic
diversification, defense autonomy and the Blue Homeland maritime
doctrine.
At the same time, in an era when rapidly theopoliticized and irrational,
unscientific combinations of belief and politics are shaping global
decision-making processes, Türkiye must never compromise on secularism,
the cornerstone of its republican identity. Secularism is not only a
principle of governance; it is also the strongest shield protecting
national sovereignty, social peace and state reason today when religion,
combined with politics, technology, finance and security apparatuses
generate eschatological tendencies.
The weakening of secularism would make Türkiye vulnerable to geopolitical
drift that pulls it into regional sectarian conflicts and global doomsday
scenarios. Therefore, in the coming period, Türkiye must carefully
analyze the global atmosphere in which religion is instrumentalized;
strengthen state reason on the basis of science, rationality and national
interest; and resolutely preserve a secular public sphere that keeps the
social fabric strong.

Bishop Strickland blasts Pope Francis' LGBT Revolution and the silent Bishops
November 20, 2925 — Bishop Joseph Strickland delivers a fiery rebuke
to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic hierarchy, warning them to stop "serving
two masters" and scandalizing the faithful while calling out the Vatican
for tolerating irreverent Masses, promoting LGBT ideology, and turning a
blind eye to illegal immigration's real dangers. Strickland calls out the
Pope's audience with a same-sex couple and the USCCB's silence on openly
homosexual confirmations as grave betrayals of Church teaching. He ends
with a stark warning: A "cargo load of millstones" awaits those who
continue to harm the little ones . . .
Pope Leo XIV's meeting with a same-sex couple is being hailed by secular
media, but many Catholics see it as a dangerous signal. This public
gesture mirrors Pope Francis' past meetings and appears to endorse
homosexuality. This is part of a broader betrayal by Church leaders who
have embraced moral relativism under the guise of compassion. Bishop
Joseph Strickland, recently isolated at the USCCB, is praised as one of
the few voices defending the truth. Referencing the Catechism's warning
about a "final trial" before Christ's return; John-Henry Westen frames
current events as part of that prophecy. Full story;

Global Fooling
November 18, 2025 — The public is, of course, more concerned about
the immediate dangers to their standard of living and such threats have
easily supplanted climate change: A threat which we have been browbeaten
with over the course of decades even though it never seems to
materialize.
However, education on the facts surrounding climate change has also given
the public perspective and people are beginning to realize that climate
science might just be one of the biggest scams of the 21st Century. In
other words, the indoctrination is failing and less and less people are
buying into the hysteria.
Climate science is an industry that is built like a labyrinthine
bureaucracy. Various governments worldwide spend around $10 billion
annually on direct funding for climate research. The scam is lucrative,
and so the scam must continue. But what happens when climate predictions
turn out consistently false and the public gets wise? Full story:

Operation Midas exposes the Corruption of the Ukrainian Ruling Class
November 14, 2025 — Operation Midas by Ukraine's Anti-
Corruption Bureau (NABU) focused on the state-owned nuclear energy
company Energoatom, which has an annual turnover of about $4 billion . .
.
The amount of money stolen is believed to exceed $100 million. Each
contracting company with Energoatom was required to pay bribes of 10 to
15%. The money was allegedly laundered by the office of the former
director of Energoatom (2006-2007), Andriy Derkach (who attempted, in
2019, to reveal Hunter Biden's crimes in Ukraine to Rudy Giuliani). A
complete set of black bookkeeping was discovered on site . . .
In a speech on the evening of 10 November, Ukraine's un-reelected
president Volodymyr Zelensky said: "There is an urgent need to take
effective measures against corruption" . . . the remaining Ukrainian
authorities will be under constant threat from revelations by the Trump
administration in the US and will have to align themselves with its
policy demands. Full story: voltairenet.org
Soros family has been working with State Department for 50 years
