Regardless if you are a Christian or not, it is useful that you know about these facts pertaining to Jewish and Israeli crime and subversion. Remember why this is important:

The biggest voting block in the US, the Evangelicals, make up 25% of the US population, and they have been psyoped into supporting the terrorist state of Israel (which was complicit in the 2nd 9/11 attack on the US) for religious reasons via the Scofield Bible, which was commissioned to Scofield by the Rothschild.

 

And also remember that the True Eternal Israel exists in the hearts of those who have faith in Jesus Christ, Rothschild created earthly country we call Israel today.

And this one:

https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0d2_1490299824 - “Israel Is A World Cancer -Greg Felton”

 

And read this:

http://archive.vn/5m9SW - “Jew Fatigue: US Police Forced to Undergo 'Holocaust Training,' Trips to Israel, Funded by Uncle Sam”

 

A quote:

Jewish groups in the United States are adept at creating mechanisms that benefit themselves and also frequently Israel at the expense of the American taxpayer. The proliferating holocaust museums are a good example, sometimes built by private donations but then paid for and operated by the local government. The national holocaust museum in Washington is, for example, supported by the taxpayer to the tune of $54 million per year. When one considers that the so-called holocaust occurred nearly eighty years ago and did not involve the United States at all, it is a remarkable achievement to so memorialize the claimed uniqueness of Jewish suffering, which then is used to justify other abuses and excuse Israel’s ongoing war crimes.

 

For those who deny that claims of the uniqueness of Jewish suffering are exploited and even promoted in order to be able to influence public opinion while also obtaining special favors from government, one might cite specific instances where that has most definitely been the case. Jewish organizations receive over 90% of discretionary grants from the Department of Homeland Security, for example, and Israel benefits from $3.8 billion in aid annually plus another $10 billion through bogus charities, trade concessions and U.S. government funded projects approved by Congress that the American public knows little or nothing about.

Perhaps the reason why the top leadership of the cabal triangle, the Eye of Providence that the cabal feeds, is an eye, one single eye, comes down to that old saying that "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king".

 

It would make sense out of that goofy symbolism of the cabalites hiding one eye, and it might be connected to that weird pattern of cabalites getting one single eye punched while the other one is left intact.

 

It would also make sense in the sense that if they have created a fake world where we the plebs are essentially, blind to the reality of affairs, that makes them effectively the "one-eyed kings" in the land of the blind (planet Earth).

 

Also, I tried to learn more about the origins of the saying, and I found this:

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/in_the_land_of_the_blind,_the_one-eyed_man_is_king

 

A quote:

 

"

Calque of Latin in regione caecorum rex est luscus, credited to Desiderius Erasmus's Adagia (1500).

 

A similar (yet much earlier, dating to the 4th or 5th century CE) turn of phrase, and Erasmus' possible inspiration, appears in the Genesis Rabbah as "???? ????? ?????? ??????? ??? ????", meaning "In the street of the blind, the one-eyed man is called the Guiding Light".

"

 

And what is Genesis Rabbah?

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_Rabbah

 

A quote:

"

Genesis Rabba (Hebrew: ??????????? ??????, B'reshith Rabba) is a religious text from Judaism's classical period, probably written between 300 and 500 CE with some later additions. It is a midrash comprising a collection of ancient rabbinical homiletical interpretations of the Book of Genesis (B'reshith in Hebrew).

"

 

Regarding the symbol of a triangle being used to describe the overall structure of the cabal:

 

The triangle/pyramid symbol speaks of one of their most basic methods and tools of control: they need at least 2 sides they can pit against each other, while they benefit from the conflict (like how rich Jewish bankers would finance both sides of rebellions, while putting both sides under the condition that they would pay for the other side's debt once the conflict was over and one side won over the other). Two lower points on the same level, facing each other (connected by a line), and a third point in the middle, ABOVE the opposing ones below (sucking in their resources). Ascension thru exploitation, this is what the cabal is about.

 

 

Given that Judaism is basically based on Jews acting as predators against non-Jews, this whole thing about the triangle and the single eye seems to gel together in a smooth way.

https://forward.com/opinion/170775/the-gun-lobbys-jewish-enemies-list/

http://archive.is/oEmbt - "The Gun Lobby's Jewish Enemies List"

"

The National Rifle Association compiled a list of its enemies and it reads like a Jewish who’s who list. The list, prepared by the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action includes 506 individuals, organizations, media outlets and corporations that “have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations.”

The groups listed by the NRA as enemies of the gun-rights cause could easily populate a Conference of Presidents meeting room. They include major Jewish national organizations, including the Anti Defamation League, American Jewish Committee, B’nai B’rith, and the Jewish Labor Committee; two major Jewish women organizations: Hadassah and National Council of Jewish Women; and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, which is the Reform movement’s rabbinical arm.

Reform Jews, the list suggests, are among the NRA’s worst adversaries. The list includes not only their national rabbinical group but also names specifically the Union for Reform Judaism’s former president Eric Yoffie and David Saperstein, director of the group’s Religious Action Center, as individuals fighting for gun control laws.

And article related:

 

https://www.non-intervention2.com/2019/12/17/the-afghan-war-was-lost-between-9-11-and-7-october-2001/

 

The Afghan War was lost between 9/11 and 7 October 2001

 

I highly recommend to readers of this site the following article: Barbara Bolland’s excellent, “5 Infuriating Takeaways from the ‘Afghanistan Papers’,” American Conservative, 10 December 2019. (1) Ms. Bolland’s incisive article recounts the deliberate waste of U.S. human and financial assets in Afghanistan, as well as the wholesale lies that were, for 18-plus years, used to mislead Americans by presidents, media pundits, senators and congressmen, and, most especially, consistently, and vigorously by multiple Chairmen of the Joints Chiefs of Staff and many other U.S. general officers. (NB: I suspect that Iraq has been as bad, but that shoe has yet to drop.)

 

While I have often discussed America’s Afghan War on this blog, I cannot add much to Ms. Boland’s article, which clearly presents evidence from just-released documents and focuses on the years after the war began on 7 October 2001. I can, however, add a bit about what happened in the short span of weeks between 9/11 and the war’s October start. (NB: I worked on Afghanistan at CIA — from several different directions — from December, 1985, to November, 2004.)

 

The following points underscore, I think, how lightly the most senior levels of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) took the Agency’s responsibility to provide the best possible support to the U.S. government’s Afghan war effort. I tend to believe that this fact was, in major part, the result of senior CIA officials knowing that the Bush Administration’s main goal in the Afghan War was to use it to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq, as well as to use it as the driver for a vast expansion of the police/surveillance state in the United States, which is still growing. (NB: On Iraq, for example, I recall that Agency leaders began shifting Arabic-speakers from the Bin Laden unit and other CTC components by late-2001/early-2002, and sending them to aid preparatory efforts underway for the March, 2003, invasion of Iraq.) Following is the story of these five weeks as I remember it. I was recalled to the Agency’s Counterterrorism Center in the early evening of 11 September 2001.

 

–1.) On 9/11, the CIA was flush with officers who had prolonged experience working on Afghanistan and the varities of war as they are conducted therein. A substantial number of these individuals – from lower GS grades to the most experienced Senior Intelligence Officers — had worked on Afghanistan for the entire length of the Afghan-Soviet War, 1979-1989, stayed on from 1989-to-1992 to assist in the final destruction of the still Soviet-armed and supported Afghan Communist regime, and then continued working on the country’s involvement in terrorism, insurgency, and heroin-trafficking to the day of the 9/11 attacks.

 

Now, 14-years of experience working on one facet of a private-sector institution’s business might not seem unusual – men and women spend thirty-or-more years making steel or automobiles, others preside over logistics or financial operations for the same period – but at CIA, and in the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) generally, such expertise is thought unnecessary and as a sure sign of an officer’s lack of career ambition. Some intelligence officers are permitted to specialize on particular issues for prolonged periods, but only at the personal cost of few and widely separated promotions. An officer’s decision to specialize is always made with knowledge that it will limit his-or-her chances for promotion.

 

–2.) Before the fires of 9/11 were damped and bureaucratic priorities took control of CIA decision-making, a team of several of the smartest, bravest, and most experienced CIA Afghan hands were deployed to Afghanistan.
