Psalms

This blog looks at current work in Psalms. Then a look at next year, with a possible rerun of Egypt. Then shop work and a headline review.

Table 400

The link here is to the Table of 400 app, which should eventually get a better name. In any case, since finishing Proverbs, Ryan has been looking very carefully at Psalms. The goal is to take the 150 Psalms in standard Bibles and find 25 of them that will be the inspired core. Those Psalms are expected to fill out the Lu row, starting at story 300 in that table.

Proverbs eventually had a fairly simple rule for sorting out the inspired sections from the additions, so Ryan's hope has been to find something similar in Psalms. This is not as simple as Proverbs as there are no obvious markers for inspired Psalms as there was in Proverbs.

Pass 1: Check Markup

The first phase of the work on Psalms was to go through and make sure each of the 150 Psalms is current in terms of markup. The set of possible tags has generally increased since Psalms was originally tagged up, so he went through and made sure everything was current.

This included making sure the entire work is correctly sub-versed and that poetry formatting is correct. This pass also allowed him to review the book for content. One of his gifts is to be able to hold much of the Bible in his head, which is why he is able to do the work he is doing.

This markup check also included looking to make sure the cross reference tags, so the "Q" series of Quote tags, was current. Inspired material does not quote uninspired material. Having those tags correct is a power tool for spotting webs of additions.

Pass 2: Check Obvious Filters

The next part of the work was to use the filter tags to mark up content that is obviously not inspired by normal Acts 15 related filter rules. The "F" tag series marks content suspected of being written by one of the Villains, say Solomon.

Because the timing of Psalms appears relatively late in the writing process, Solomon, Ahab/Jezebel and Nebuchadnezzar are not expected to have contributed to Psalms. There is, though, a section called the "Songs of Ascent" which may be attributable to Solomon. Thus they are likely not inspired and marked as being written under the hand of Solomon, not an inspired author.

Psalms is also older than the New Testament editor, Ananias, so this leaves Mordecai and Ezra as the 2 key editors which edited most of Psalms. In the end, it looks like both Mordecai and Ezra took their turns at messing with Psalms. But, I am getting ahead of the story.

Most of the content beyond Psalm 112 fails by normal subject matter related filter rules. Proverbs was particularly difficult because it lacks high level subject matter. Psalms is easier to tackle because most Psalms have some obvious topic. Studying the topics for each Psalm helps determine inspiration.

Psalm 118 (BRB)

Psalms 118 captured Ryan's attention in some important ways. The link here is to that Psalm in the BRB. This is an important Psalm to consider because it is quoted heavily in the New Testament. Heavy quoting is either going to mark that this Psalm is inspired, or else, it is going to indicate a web of locations in the New Testament which are NOT inspired. Use the options menus to turn on Quote Links if they are not already visible.

Psalms 118:6 is quoted in Hebrews 13:6. This quote asks a question, with Master as my help, what can man do to me?

Of course the answer to this is what happened to Joshua. Worst case they can crucify you and kill you. Or else these days, trick you into taking a deadly vaccine, draft you for use as cannon fodder or even drop a nuke on your city. In the end, this Psalm is a false comfort. This thought is not inspired, and is the first hint at the problem with the edited Psalms.

If you chase the quote link down you land in a longer story starting at Hebrews 13:5. Hebrews is organized around a list of 25. Likely the throne room kings, but also the rows in the Table. The list notes that Hebrews 13:5 is mapping through to the Book of Acts. The actual promise in Hebrews at this point is that Joshua will not leave us, nor forsake us. But, by using Acts as an interpretive key, we can think of Steven and Jacob as extreme personal examples of what actually can and does happen to people who are following Joshua.

Psalms 118:22-23 is quoted in Matthew 21:42 and Mark 12:10-11. Here, the thought is the stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone. This is Master's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes.

In this case the focus is on the construction of the Temple. This was the work of Solomon, the first editor. Solomon's letter, asking for logs to build that structure, identifies him as a villain. If you chase the link out to Matthew 21:42. There you can find Joshua telling them their kingdom will be taken away. (So not built up. Their temple will be torn down.) This Psalm 118 quote looks added there in order to retort the original intent of what Joshua said. Again, if you chase down this Psalms 118:22 quote to Mark 12 you can see this used in a what is likely a longer addition by Ananias.

Psalms 118:26 is the most commonly quoted verse in this Psalm. The idea is blessed is he who comes in the name of Master. (So authority of Master.) This is quoted 6 times in the New Testament. Usually around the Triumphal Entry. This has caused considerable discussion around here. Was the Triumphal Entry something invented by Ananias to give power back to the Temple? At least some parts of the Triumphal Entry story are additions. There is more work still to do on the New Testament quotes of this non-inspired Psalm.

Pass 3: Read For Themes

Ryan then went back and reread the parts of Psalms that were not already out with filter tags. There were still far to many Psalms to fit the Lu row in the 400 app. There must be something else going on.

Ryan came out to the shop one afternoon and just needed to talk. He had found it. My paraphrase, psalms where "Smite My Enemies" is a theme are also not going to be inspired. These will be by Mordecai. Remember, Mordecai's main event was to write his villain-identifying letter where he told everyone who got his letter to rise up and "smite their enemies." That letter was not all he wrote on this theme, he was also writing this theme into Psalms.

Mordecai dedicated a whole 2 day annual holiday to that violence. That holiday reflects the origin stories of Jerusalem as given late in the book of Judges. That desire for vengeance still permeates Jerusalem to this day.

Psalms that are of the general literary form where someone asks god to smite their enemies is a contradiction to passages like Matthew 5:43-44. Let me quote that Matthew passage here in full, in divine voice: "You have heard that it was said Be kind to your friend and hate your enemy, but I say to you, love your enemies, and bless anyone who curses you, and do good to anyone who hates you, and pray for those who carry you away by force and persecute you."

Many Psalms take on this "smite my enemies" form. They are prayers to god asking for violence against enemies. This is a fundamental contradiction of the Bible. This theme will mark Mordecai as the likely editor for the Psalms of this form. Mordecai was prolific on this theme and looks to have written many such Psalms.

Once Ryan started seeing Mordecai as the primary author and editor of these Psalms, then it was easy to see even more strange details in the Psalms. One that stands out most amazingly is Psalm 45.

Psalm 45 (BRB)

This Psalm was so good Ryan needed yet more tooling. Ryan recently added an option to highlight text that was addressed to god. This markup is used when the text itself is being written with the audience being god. Readers in these cases are watching a conversation where they are not part of the conversation.

To handle Psalm 45, that option needed 2 more cases. So now, the Address option can also highlight text addressed to a man and also highlight text addressed to a woman.

These options are rare, and off by default. To see and use them you can go into the option menu, under Address, and enable them. Then go look at Psalms 45 linked above. It will continue into Psalms 46, so keep scrolling down to see the entire passage.

Once you know Mordecai is the author, then you can see that Mordecai is writing to his king. This is not a heavenly king, but to Esther's new husband and Mordecai's newly adopted son-in-law. Mordecai did have a strange family, and after Esther became the new queen Mordecai was in the king's extended family.

So Psalms 45:2 and following are being addressed to the king. So there is a blue shadow if you have the Address option enabled in the BRB.

What you see when reading that Psalm is that Mordecai is flattering Esther's new husband in various ways. By Psalm 45:6 we see Mordecai calling that man a god. Then in Psalms 45:7 we find that Esther's husband is a god who himself has yet another god, so there is a hierarchy in the gods of Mordecai's mind. This theology is known as polytheism, which is yet another contradiction within the text.

By Psalm 45:9 Mordecai then turns to the women in that king's life. That verse mentions both the king's daughter, and the king's wife. This is an unknown daughter, but the wife, the queen, is Esther. This is the woman whom Mordecai raised as his own daughter after the death of her parents.

By Psalms 45:10 Mordecai how changes his address to a woman. The address coloring is now in the red/pink color range. He is now writing to Esther. Mordecai does not want her to forget her Jewish origins. He then goes on and discusses Esther's daughter and Esther's sons.

This Psalm ends with 45:17 where Mordecai explains his purpose for editing the text. As he says, it was so Esther's name would be remembered to all generations, and so the people will praise her to all generations.

Book of Esther?

This Psalm is suggesting that the Book of Esther is going to be Mordecai's high ground for perhaps serious editing. We have much more work to do there. We have questions related to who the inspired writer may be. Mordecai would not be an inspired writer, he would not have known the inspired language nor alphabet.

The historical record of Esther is needed to understand Mordecai as an editor. But what parts of the Book of Esther are inspired? This is a question for a different time.

Pass 4: More Markup

Ryan was still interested in what was left. Which Psalms remain after these other passes. He went back and made yet another pass across Psalms. There are several that are written as acrostics. Psalm 119 is perhaps the most famous, but is already out for content reasons. In most Bibles Psalm 119 has headings that mark the change in first letters moving down that Psalm. Ryan has previously added those headings, and then used similar headings in other Psalms built around acrostics.

Unlike Psalm 119, the pace of these other acrostics in Psalms is much faster, typically a change in the first letter with each verse, or else each sub verse. So these other headings were getting in the way. In the end Ryan added yet another option, like other Enumerations, for controlling the display of acrostics.

If you are still open in the BRB, you can use the Enumerations option menu to enable the "Acrostics" choice. When enabled, Hebrew letters are placed at the front of verses that are participating in an acrostic.

Psalm 111

The link here is to Psalm 111 in the BRB where you can see a good example of this new notation and you can see another example of this strange literary device.

Note that in the BRB the Hebrew letters are being displayed. Readers are more likely to know that alphabet than, say, Aramaic. In the Paleo apps, so the 400 and TT, the same Enumerations/Acrostics option is also in the menus. When enabled in those apps, those acrostic letters are displayed using Paleo letters. For an example see story 323 in the 400 app.

Psalms Work

Ryan is now down to 34(?) Psalms. He still needs to find a few more to remove before he has the correct number to fill the 25 stories of the Lu row in the table. In any case, the solution to this riddle is now starting to come into range.

Possible Egypt Replay

As we were watching headlines after October 7, 2023, we went through a relatively quiet replay of the time in Egypt. There were minor headlines across that time but nothing like we might have expected with a full on replay of Egypt.

Of course there is not much in the text that would document that time when Jacob's heirs lived in Egypt. We only have Moses' genealogy, with a few dates along the way, and then we have a brief and obscure summary of the plagues at the end.

So, we never really expected much in terms of headlines from a replay of that era.

But, there is another obscure plot line that has started to become visible as the Table of 400 has been forming. There is a hint in that table that the rows dedicated to the history of the Jerusalem kings are giving a glimpse at the details for the plagues of Egypt. So buried in that history may be passages that better define the otherwise obscure plagues.

In order to find them, we need to see if the historical timeline hints at being a replay of the time in Egypt.

The conceptual story of the Book of Judges is how the people who were taken out of Egypt eventually lost connection with Moses and the systems of the Tent of Time. Those items and the related practices went underground. The community of prophets still had access to a copy, but the public at large, especially the formal government based in Jerusalem, had no access to the Tent of Time nor the exhibits.

For the public at large, those systems were now a hidden mystery. When those items are gone, even though the people have not moved, they are now effectively back in Egypt and away from the promises of god.

This idea is called out in Amos and then quoted in Acts 15 where we learn there will come a time in history when David's fallen tent is restored. This future pointing promise also belies a historical reality that the heirs of Jacob had returned to Egypt after David's death. Acts 15 is hinting that we need to look at David's death for the start of a replay of the time in Egypt.

Time In Egypt

The time in historical Egypt is carefully recorded, 430 years, to the day, see Exodus 12:41. Did that same 430 year interval repeat again across the time of the Jerusalem Kings?

The question itself makes sense when you see Jerusalem as the Jebusite city, outside of the promises to Abraham. In some sense Jebus was Egyptian. Not by culture, but because all cultures share the basic religion of earth. They all follow the Serpent, or Hivite, described in the Garden of Eden. So the Jerusalem kings when they revert to this religion become something like Pharaohs. New Testament use of words like pharisees are pointing at this too, little pharaohs are the heirs of that kingdom.

So the time in Egypt, 430 years, should sit there somewhere. It can start as early as the start of Saul's reign or out as late as the death of David. It should then run along for 430 years and end at some time related to the fall of Jerusalem to Babylon.

If there is such an interval, timed close to 430 years, then we would have the first direct evidence that the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings are really just detailed story lines of what it is like to be living in Egypt under Pharaoh.

There is a key difference between the time of Jacob's family going to actual Egypt and this second copy. This second time around there were inspired writers who could tell us about it.

The way to check this would be to look for an obvious 430 year interval in the record of the Jerusalem Kings. So some start event and some stop event that are very close to 430 years apart.

Start At The End

Because there is a long documented transition from the time of the Judges to the Jerusalem kings it is harder to know what event in that period would start a theoretical time in Egypt.

Was it in Samuel's day when he warned about asking for a king? Or was it later on, say the civil war and split kingdom?

So instead, it seems easier to look at the end. The final fall of Jerusalem to Babylon in Jeremiah's day is a more easily identified close to any such 430 year interval.

My notes from 25 years ago indicate that Jeremiah 39:2, 52:5-7 indicate that the wall of Jerusalem was broken through in the 11th year, 4th month, 9th day. My timeline notes then indicate the calendar year was 10409 AA.

Modern Jews remember this as the 9th of Av. So this is important to their own history. Events then spread out from there, with a possible burning of the city of Jerusalem and the temple about 1 month latter on the 5th month, 10th day. See Jeremiah 52:12. Also note 2 Kings 25:8-9 tells the same story with slightly different dating.

My notes also indicate that Jeremiah 39:1 and 52:4 indicate a siege of Jerusalem started in the 9th year, 10th month, 10th day. So about 2 years before, in 10407 AA.

So assume 10409 AA was the last year of 430 years in this detailed rerun of living in Egypt.

Slop

But remember there is some slop in this. Year lengths are irregular, and these are not aligned with the Jubilee cycle, so there is some slop in any such calculation.

Also note, that day-accurate historical dates usually remove them from day-for-year replays. So we would not expect an exact replay of these stories because they are day accurate.

With these provisions, running back 430 calendar years, we can take 10409 - 430 = 9979 AA as the year we need to study to see if it is a start to a 430 year time in Egypt. So around the 4th month or maybe 5th month in that year would have been the start of replaying Egypt.

Back to David and Solomon

I can check my notes and see if there was anything interesting in that year. Indeed, this was the 3rd year in the co-reign between David and Solomon, when supplies were being gathered to start construction on what would become Solomon's Temple. The formal start was the 2nd month of the 4th year of that co-reign, or 9980 AA. See 1 Kings 6:1 where this date is given, measured from the Exodus itself.

These start and stop intervals are very close. Solomon's Temple, even the first stones being laid, would mark going to Egypt. The wall broken through by the Babylonians would mark the end.

If the burning of Jerusalem and the temple in the 5th month and 10th day, by the Babylonians was actually 1 year after the wall was broken through, then this all aligns perfectly.

In any case, this is working. There is a 430 year interval within the story. From the start of the temple until the burning down of the temple.

4 Point Dates

Long distance historical time lines in the text often involve 4 point math, not just 2. So there is usually some sort of skew at both ends of these intervals. For the best modern example, consider the 1948 return of the Jews to Palestine. It was 19 years later, a skew, when they recovered the city of Jerusalem itself.

Beware of the 1 based math used in the text. 1948 to 1967 is 19 years difference. Yes. But when 1948 is year 1, then year 20 is 1967. Depending on how you look at it, the interval can be thought of as either 19 or 20 years.

This same modern skew is informed by refugees from Jerusalem spread out after the wall was breached by Nebuchadnezzar. We count forward by 2550 years from Nebuchadnezzar's day as per Leviticus 26 to reach 1948.

Going 430 years back from Nebuchadnezzar's breach to Solomon's temple we would then look for a 19 or 20 year skew going forward. It is there, in the text. After starting the temple, it took Solomon 19 more years, so 20 total years, to build both the temple and his palace, what we today would call the capital building. See 1 Kings 6:38, 7:9-10.

I'm sketching it out here in written form for the record, but indeed we have a 430 year interval that stretches from Solomon to Nebuchadnezzar that closely matches the 430 year long time in Egypt that precedes the more famous 7 times intervals that are stretching into the modern era.

If we are looking for Egypt across the times of the Jerusalem kings, we found it. And, we found it connected clear through to the modern timeline, also interesting.

Modern Replay?

The start of Solomon's reign, so 9977 AA, a co-reign with David, replays on our current charts on 2026-01-14. This is around 3 days early for a possible temple replay. Of course there is also always a day for modern timezone slop.

What I have just shown above is that we would also expect that same season, around the middle of January, 2026, to also be the start of something like a replay of Pharaoh's Egypt. It should last 430 days.

Solomon actually had a 20 year building project, which gives a 20 day window this time around for a possible start. This also indicates that any actual temple building begun in our day may also take 20 years to finish. So we would not expect any sort of pop-up temple. We would only watch for a simple start, say the start of sacrifice, or a decree, or something similar.

The other end, so the replay of 10409 AA, will replay on 2027-03-22. This would be the end of the replay of Egypt as informed by the replay of the time when Jerusalem's kings ruled. It too has a 20 day skew, so stretched out into mid April of 2027.

Possible Fulfillment Domains

So if Egypt is going to replay from January 2026 through March of 2027, what might we expect?

From the original Exodus account we can think of it as a time of slavery in Egypt. So an economic season which is difficult. By this I would think difficult in an economic sense for anyone under the modern international banking cartel, the best modern expression of Egypt.

We can now also think of the stories spread across 1 Kings and 2 Kings. The various battles and struggles recorded there can also replay. For those dated to the year, we would expect matching headlines. Most of those stories are war related, when those kings were fighting each other, and fighting their neighbors. So this time also looks to be a time of war.

We will track them in watch dates as they go by.

There is also the possibility that the plagues stories we have in the Book of Exodus interplay with the stories of the Jerusalem kings.

My hunch here would be the plagues, in order, actually run all the way across any time when we can identify a replay of the time in Egypt. If so, then the plagues can be matched to the stories of the Jerusalem kings.

Working together, the plagues should function as a lens on Kings, telling us which stories, of all the king's reigns stories, will matter to us now.

I hope to return to this idea in future blogs.

Shop Work

The main parts for the reprint of the Vine exhibit were done by early this past week. Gray stalk, flowered bottom stand, yellow front flowers, gray back flowers, dark green leafs, clear bird cages and silk silver plastic for birds are all looking good.

It stands around 7.5 feet tall, so can stand up in a typical North American house.

I have been continuing to work on the recipe for using silk PLA with water soluble layer material. This is tricky, but it looks like this will work for the birds in all of the bird cages. The print failure rate for the birds is still well over 50 percent, which has caused me to look at filament conditioning.

The soluble layer material and the silk plastic both need to be dried before 3d printing. So a second dryer was ordered this week because the recipe for dry times and temps is different for these plastics. The cycle looks to be dry everything overnight and 3d print during the day, then repeat. I am still experimenting with this tricky problem.

As the Vine was printing I made a series of changes to the design files to make this exhibit much easier for others to successfully 3d print. All the parts are now labeled with their location up the tree. It is similar to a Christmas tree in terms of assembly. Location, and thus print order is measured up from the floor with a few simple codes on each part.

The various series of parts now also have their file names matched to the tree location instead of to their Paleo letters. This is setup so the tree can be assembled as it is printed moving up from the floor. Future builders will know where each part goes once printed, without needing to know Paleo.

Table Rework

I also spent considerable time this week reworking the design for the Table exhibit. It should begin a reprint next week. Major design changes include lifting the lid and configuring it for stacking with the chests.

Minor design changes included adjusting the sides to match what we learned at the Museum of the Bible. Most parts now have labels to make assembly much easier for anyone with a 3d print farm to assemble, without needing to know Paleo. Finally the color scheme was redone to compliment the vine.

Be Ready

I continue to get personal prophetic words to be ready to introduce the project and exhibits to some future unfamiliar live audience. This has been a remarkably consistent and intense set of personal prophetic lots. This warning in preparation has included exactly what chapters in a regular Bible I need to start with when introducing this work.

This planning has indicated at least 1 missing exhibit, which I should get designed next week.

Current Watch Date Status

We remain in the replay of the time of Eli the priest. The last day for Eli is 2025-10-15. We remain concerned for the death of another of Eli's sons. At the end of this interval we remain concerned for the replay of the death of Eli himself.

After Eli the timeline gets strange, with prophetic intervals that are NOT always measured in years. These would not normally repeat in simple ways because the timeline normally follows a simple ratio of 1 ancient-year for 1 modern day. So something strange may happen mid October to upset the timeline. Of course we will return to that standard ratio later this fall.

Shift To War

My normal work days typically involve computer time on my laptop, say 3d design work, writing the blog, diary work and so on. Then I spend time in the shop. This includes keeping the 3d printers fed with plastic, but also assembly work and then working on the shop itself. I still have the 3rd Voron, for example, that still needs to be built.

When I am in the shop I usually have a list of podcasts that I track. This is very much like listening to the radio. Most podcasts do not need to be watched. Though I do have them on a monitor and can replay something if needed. I was asked recently what I am tracking for news, and I'll give some recommended links below.

What I noticed this week is a general shift to the realization that the west, especially the Trump White House, has now shifted into a war mode against Russia. The obvious headline for this is the USA agreeing to ship Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. These are long range and nuclear capable. So Russia will need to treat every one of them as nuclear armed. The western strategy is to goad Russia into shooting first in order to falsely claim Russia started the war.

I suspect that if there is anyone who survives to write about this war, that World War III will be recorded as having began around October 1, 2025. This is especially so because the tone of the European leaders has also dramatically changed. They are looking for a false flag they can use to claim Russia started the war and thus begin their full on war with Russia.

This strange time was also marked when the Department of War in the USA recalled all US Generals back to Virginia for consultations. More on that below.

There are now 3 war fronts that the Pentagon is facing. War with Russia in Ukraine, war with Iran and war with Venezuela.

There is also a timeline shift after October 15, 2025, where the ark was taken by the Philistines. So for awhile the timeline is marked by war, and not by a judge. This shift may show up in headlines in some strange way.

In any case, these are not normal times.

Recommendations

OK, another section by request. Where do I normally get my news?

It shifts around based on what is currently going on in the world. These days I am tracking the Ukraine war nearly every day. Week to week, sources of news can change, but here is where it stands this week.

The following are links to what I consider good current sources for news on what matters around the world right now.

Alex Christoforou

The link here is to Alex's Youtube channel. Alex is 1/2 of the team known as The Duran. Alex is normally based in Greece/Cyprus, but travels around. He posts a daily news summary at the end of his calendar day, which is normally by mid day in the USA.

Alex summarizes everything in the news that mattered that day especially with all things involving the war in Ukraine. This includes Europe, NATO, Ukraine and the USA. He is not focused on the ground in Ukraine, but on the politics behind the war.

Alex uses a walk-and-talk format. This is often in interesting places, this past week he has been in Armenia and Russia. If he is not very busy, then he is also in interesting terrain. Watch for a few days and you'll see. He goes deep when subjects warrant on The Duran channel.

Alex changes vocal tone and also has a series of nick names when dealing with subjects and people that are obviously trouble. He clips in posts from X so it is possible to track down his sources.

He gets the key headlines done in around 30 minutes. Since his calendar day ends before the end of the calendar day in the USA, he will cover tomorrow some events that happened late "today." Not a problem. He can sometimes be played back at 1.25 speed, but then requires paying close attention. Best at this speed when waiting for a 3d print to finish.

Military Summary

This Military Summary channel on Youtube posts 2 videos per day. These look to be at the start and stop of someone's European work day. These are short, usually only 15 minutes or so.

The focus is the current line of contact between the Ukrainian and Russian armed forces. This channel also covers any major bombing on either side of the line, plus any political news that matters.

This is the modern equivalent to listening to WWII war news on a vacuum tube radio in the front parlor. An essential service for WWIII.

Others

Beyond this I am watching for a few key individuals who make weekly appearances on other channels. Judge Nap, Nima Alkhorshid and Larry Johnson are the key channels, but I am currently tracking Alastair Crooke, Alex Krainer and John Helmer. I am still learning from these men. Judge Nap does not normally give his guests time to talk. Nima and Larry are better.

Alastair Crooke tracks the Middle East, especially Israel. He was a diplomat who worked the area. He knows the game and can explain much, especially with active headlines from Israel.

Alex Krainer goes deeper into European politics. This is interesting because the Europeans are stepping up to war with Russia. Alex has a good mental model of the world. He does not yet get that Netanyahu is the top of the European bankers. But, he reasons about the world in a way that is insightful.

John Helmer is on with Nima each week for an hour. John worked in the Carter White House but has been based in Moscow for much of his career. He knows how to read political speech like nobody else I know and can explain what matters when anyone around Trump opens their mouth.

I have a long list of RSS feeds that I track on my laptop. I usually go to those when I need a cite that is not obvious from other sources. I am not doing much long form reading, I just do not have the time. I scan X once a day, but X recently started shadow banning most of the accounts on X that matter.

Headline Review

The following headlines caught my attention this week.

Netanyahu Visits DC

The link here is to an X post by Lord Bebo with a short clip recording Netanyahu's visit to see US President Trump on Monday, September 29, 2025, at the White House in Washington DC.

Trump appears to be taking orders from Netanyahu. Evidence for this is how Trump policy usually changes the day or so after these visits. Trump's war with Russia seems to be what changed with this visit.

Netanyahu's Comments

Another post on X detailing Netanyahu's press conference comments on stage with Trump. Netanyahu butchers the Bible worse than anyone else I know. The promises to Abraham do not uniquely apply to modern Israel. To the extent modern Israelis are the heirs to the Jebusites, there are no promises at all.

Global Sumud Flotilla

The link here is to a post on X detailing the 3 warships accompanying the Global Sumud Flotilla. That flotilla is bringing aide to Gaza. The warships raise the bar in terms of a fight with Israel. The date for this post is September 29, 2025.

Comments On Hegseth's Speech

The link here is to Daniel Davis commentary on his Deep Dive Youtube channel. He discusses the strange speech by Hegseth to the assembled top military brass of the USA. Trump was also there and gave a speech, as Davis notes, that speech was rambling. Trump appears to have been quite tired. Davis questions the purpose for the meeting, was it worth bringing everyone together in 1 room?

I don't believe this public gathering was the reason bringing them all together. The war planners needed a public cover. The real conversations took place in smaller meetings outside of this main room.

This was the American war planning council day. The generals that can be trusted, and that needed to know, now have the high level WWIII war plan.

US Prepares For War

The link here is to Daniel Davis again on his Deep Dive Youtube channel. He goes into some details about how the US is preparing for war. This is but one possible cite among many.

This week there was suddenly general understanding in the alternative media that the US is the planet's public villain and it is preparing for offensive war. Alex Christoforou and some of Nima's guests have now said similar things.

The US is of course a vassal of Israel, Israel is preparing for widespread war. To remain in control of the planet's money requires new collateral. They must conquer at least Russia, but Venezuela's oil will work in a pinch. Ending the international drug trade is an excuse. Israel's international bankers could stop the drug trade in hours if they really wanted since that trade requires a funds flow in reverse direction to the drugs.

US Government Shutdown

The link here is to an RT post on X with an example of part of the US Government shutdown orders dated September 30, 2025. Nobody seems to be in any rush to end this shutdown. Is this a clever way to fix the budget? We'll see.
