'TRUMP ANOINTED BY JESUS TO CAUSE ARMAGEDDON'

While Catholics wait for the Antichrist and argue about bishops for the SSPX, and Jews wait for the Messiah, claiming Israel as their own, what turns up instead is Armageddon.  World War III is here, brought to you by the great deceiver himself. Satan.


Who else could inspire Donald Trump to say, about his war against Iran, "We did it. You could say we did it out of habit. Which is not a good thing to do." He'd got into the habit of winning wars, and it went to his head. You could call that hubris. And now with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed and oil markets convulsing, he's about to experience the fall that follows after pride. His insiders have cold feet and US allies have nightmares.


America is gripped by the oxymoronic delusion of Christian Zionism. “President Trump", an army commander has told his men, "has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.” Trump's Senior Faith Advisor, Paula White, a millionaire, preaches 'money for blessings,' fights demons, casts out Satan, and prays for the miscarriage of 'satanic pregnancies'. She claims that saying 'no' to Trump is saying 'no' to God.

Two things: firstly, Catholics can't support this apocalyptic war. In her wisdom the Church teaches a "just war" doctrine, which requires legitimate authority, proportionality, and a genuine prospect of peace. 


Secondly, when the Jews broke their covenant with God, they forfeited the land of Israel. "You shall be taken away from the land which thou shalt go in to possess" (Deut 28:63): The Catholic Church is the new Israel. At Israel's heart is the holiest place on the planet - the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Christ, His death and Resurrection, is at the heart of the battle now waged in the Middle East.

From the always reliable Lifesitenews: 



Since the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran began last Saturday, a military religious freedom group reports that they have received over 200 complaints from troops voicing concern over commanders telling them enthusiastically that the war with Iran is “biblically sanctioned” and putting forth Zionist justifications for the military intervention. 

 

The reports stem from Military Religious Freedom Foundation president Mikey Weinstein. Weinstein is an anti-Trumper and seems to push for freedom from religion rather than freedom of religion, so his organization should be regarded with suspicion. Yet his group is a long-established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and when active-duty troops say their commanders are pushing Zionist theology during official briefings, those complaints deserve to be examined.

 

 


 

Weinstein’s website says, as of this writing, “MRFF has received over 200 calls from more than 50 military installations across all the services since Saturday reporting similar disturbing pronouncements from their Christian zealot commanders.”

 

The MRFF website links to a Substack report by former CNN and MSNBC journalist Jonathan Larson, who notes Weinstein’s foundation has been “literally inundated with desperate calls for help.” He says the common thread is “the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains” who are telling service members that this war is a “biblically sanctioned” sign of the Zionist “End Times.”

 

Weinstein highlights commanders who are “especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be” and how “bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill … fundamentalist Christian end-of-the-world eschatology.”

 

WATCH: Traditional Catholic fired by archdiocese for denouncing Zionism speaks out

 

One concrete example arrived in an email to Weinstein from an active-duty service member in a leadership position (name and unit withheld for safety). He writes on behalf of himself and 15 fellow troops — most of them Christian, plus one Jewish and one Muslim service member.

 

In the combat readiness briefing on March 2, their commander opened by urging everyone “not to be afraid” because the operations in Iran are “all part of God’s divine plan.” He specifically cited multiple passages from the Book of Revelation about Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.

 

According to the service member, the commander stated with a big grin: “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.” The service member describes the message as “toxic and over the line,” saying it destroys morale and unit cohesion and violates the oath to the Constitution.

 

When LifeSiteNews directly asked the Pentagon about these specific complaints, they responded by directing us to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s March 2 press briefing. In that briefing, officials insisted the entire operation is strictly secular and defensive. Secretary Hegseth stated, “We didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”

 

 


 

He added that the mission is “laser-focused: Destroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy their navy and other security infrastructure and they will never have nuclear weapons.” He repeatedly emphasized “no endless wars” and “no nation-building,” saying “this is the opposite.”

 

Nevertheless, during a 2018 speech in Israel, Secretary Hegseth showed himself to be a convinced Zionist, enthusiastically suggesting that the “miracle of the re-eLifeSiteNews has reported on the influential Chabad-Lubavitch movement — a group President Trump has supported so strongly that his own daughter Ivanka has visited their synagogue.

 

Some voices in those circles believe Armageddon is necessary, including the destruction of the current structures on the Temple Mount – the Islamic Dome of the Rock – to rebuild the Temple and usher in their awaited Messiah.

 

A couple of days ago, Christian Zionist pastor John Hagee declared that Israel bombing Iran with the United States is part of biblical prophecy. In a recent sermon, he prayed for the peace of Jerusalem and thanked God for victory over Zion’s enemies:

Shadow of Ezra

 

Christian Zionist pastor John Hagee says Israel bombing Iran alongside the United States is part of biblical prophecy, which includes plans for Russia in the near future. He begins to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and thanks God for the victory over the enemies of Israel. “We thank you for our President Donald Trump, whose wise courage has crushed the enemies of Zion.”

 

Traditional Catholics reject the Zionist warmongering that threatens the Christian presence in the Holy Land. The Church’s just war doctrine requires legitimate authority, proportionality, and a genuine prospect of peace.


Let us pray for military members. Pray for the conversion of Jews and Muslims to the one true faith and for true peace in the Middle East and throughout the world – the peace that comes only through Christ the King. https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/hundreds-of-us-troops-claim-commanders-saying-iran-war-is-biblically-san


 

 

Self-explanatory

 



From 'Father Celatus' at the Remnant Newspaper: 



As war erupts across the Middle East, many claim the Bible guarantees modern Israel’s right to the land. But does Scripture actually support that claim? A look at the covenants—from Adam to Moses—reveals a forgotten condition: God’s promises were always tied to obedience. If those conditions were broken, what became of the Promised Land?

 

As we write, missiles and drones and aircraft by the thousands are streaking across the Middle East in an operation called Epic Fury by the United States and Roaring Lion by Israel. We were promised no wars, then a short war, and now only God-and Israel-know how long we will be at war.

 

Americans are divided whether war with Iran is warranted but there are at least two groups and their supporters that are fully committed to this war: Jewish Zionists and Christian Dispensationalists.

 

Zionism is a political nationalistic movement that arose in the late 18th century which is committed to the exclusive possession and control of the modern state of Israel by ethnic Jews. Though a majority of these modern ethnic Jews are, in effect, atheists, they base their claims on a religious right to the land of Israel, as promised to Abraham.

 

Dispensationalists, often evangelical, who support Zionism, heretically believe that once Jews possess Israel, this will bring about the millennial rule of Christ on Earth for 1,000 years.

 

A covenant is a binding agreement between God and man that includes binding promises, conditions and prescribed consequences.

 

The religious claims of both Jewish Zionists and Christian Dispensationalists are groundless and reveal either an ignorance of the nature of covenants, as divinely revealed in Sacred Scripture, or manipulation. Let’s do a broad summary of successive covenants in the Bible, then focus on the issue of modern Israel.

 

A covenant is a binding agreement between God and man that includes binding promises, conditions and prescribed consequences. Some of the biblical covenants were more formal and explicit than others but all of them constitute some form of a covenant. The first covenant was with Adam, and the promise was Paradise here on Earth with a hope for Paradise in Heaven. There was one condition imposed by God:

 

And God commanded him, saying: “Of every tree of paradise thou shalt eat:  But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat. For in what day soever thou shalt eat of it, thou shalt die the death.”

 

God was true to his promise, as He always was and always will be. Adam broke the covenant condition by eating the forbidden fruit offered to him by Eve, and both of them supernaturally died in that instant. Paradise on Earth has been lost forever and all the covenant curses have fallen upon humanity ever since.

 

The Tower of Babel was an act of defiance and rebellion against God. A covenant was broken and so the covenant curses kicked in: humanity was scattered and their language was confused.

 

The next notable covenant was with Noah, who was a type of new Adam in the sense that God started over with humanity, built upon a remnant that remained. After the flood, an explicit covenant was made:

 

Increase you and multiply, and go upon the earth, and fill it. Thus said God to Noe, and to his sons with him, Behold I will establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you:  And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, and in all the beasts of the earth.

 

But over time and through generations, the descendants of Noah became more and more corrupt; they gathered together in a great city, rather than multiplying across the earth, and built a tower to heaven. We know it as the Tower of Babel, an act of defiance and rebellion against God. A covenant was once again broken and so the covenant curses kicked in: humanity was scattered and their language was confused.

 

Once again God chose a remnant out of the midst of fallen humanity, this time with a man named Abram:

 

The Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father's house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.  I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3)

 

Moses warned the descendents of Abraham of countless curses if the covenant were to be broken... God kept His promises.

 

 

This is the main Old Testament text that Zionists and Dispensationalists cite as justification for Jews to possess modern Israel, or for that matter, most of the Middle East. But OT covenants did not end here.

 


 


For four hundred years the descendants of Abraham lived in Egypt, until the next covenant was offered to Moses. This covenant was very explicit regarding conditions for either blessings or for curses. Just before entering the Promised Land, the Israelites were reminded of the blessings for keeping covenant:

 

Now if thou wilt hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to do and keep all his commandments, which I command thee this day, the Lord thy God will make thee higher than all the nations that are on the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon thee and overtake thee: Yet so if thou hear his precepts.

 

Moses listed many of these blessings. Moses then warned of countless curses, if the covenant is broken:

 

But if thou wilt not hear the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep and to do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I command thee this day, all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee… the Lord will bring upon thee all the diseases, and plagues, that are not written in the volume of this law till he consume thee:  And you shall remain few in number, who before were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou heardst not the voice of the Lord thy God. 

 

And as the Lord rejoiced upon you before doing good to you, and multiplying you: so he shall rejoice destroying and bringing you to nought, so that you shall be taken away from the land which thou shalt go in to possess. 

 

The Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the farthest parts of the earth to the ends thereof: and there thou shalt serve strange gods, which both thou art ignorant of and thy fathers, wood and stone.  Neither shalt thou be quiet, even in those nations, nor shall there be any rest for the sole of thy foot. (Deuteronomy 28-29)

 

Adam forfeited Paradise on Earth and the Jews have forfeited the Land of Israel.

 

God keeps his promises! https://remnantnewspaper.com/web/index.php/articles/item/8128-were-the-covenants-broken-

HIPKINS, COVID RESPONSE, NZ COURTS: 'ABJECT FAILURE'

To comment please open your gmail account or use my email address, FB Messenger or X. 






 Take a very good look at the publicity shot above, advertising New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's "Mr Fix-It", Chris Hipkins, and his idea of how to get through the lockdowns in the nation's worst health crisis in a century. Cringe. Be embarrassed - especially by Hipkins' confident expectation of becoming Prime Minister in November. And realise that he may well be right, and that stupid, amoral politicians like him and Ardern are now common to much of the Western world.


Hipkins must take the blame for spending half the $60b allocated for the 'plandemic' on other stuff. Hipkins must carry the can for suppressing expert dissent. For threatening to hunt down any Kiwis who refused the noxious jab. And most heinously, for mandating the two shots for teenagers which had officially been deemed risky. "Trust the science", he said - and then followed his own advice instead.


Even though Hipkins is not a doctor, not an epidemiologist, an immunologist or a public health expert. He has a B A. Perhaps that stands for Bloody Arrogance, for his refusal to face the Commission of Inquiry.


Bloody Arrogance, deviousness, vulgarity and crass irresponsibility in government is bad enough. "God help us", says a senior lawyer - and he's talking about "abject failure" not in government but in New Zealand's rule of law and criminal justice system. "The lunatics", says John McLean, "may well have successfully taken over Asylum Aotearoa." 


He's talking about Te Wehi Ratana, the keffiyeh-clad career criminal who "redacted" (vandalised) the English version of the Treaty of Waitangi at NZ's national museum, Te Papa, with a can of painter, an axle grinder, the connivance of museum staff and publicity per kind favour of Victoria University - and is now blessed by the court "with a perfect get-out-of-jail free card".  


McLean doesn't know what New Zealand can do about it. But all that this country and any country needs is the restoration of the Social Reign and Kingship of Jesus Christ.



self-explanatory


From senior lawyer John McLean:






On 10 March 2026, the Wellington District Court dismissed all criminal charges that had been laid against a man named Te Wehi Ratana. The charges Ratana was facing were for his role in the vandalism of an exhibit at New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, on 11 December 2023.

 

The charges Ratana was facing included intentional damage, obstructing police, and breach of bail. Ratana’s breach of bail charge evidences that, when he was busy vandalizing, he was already facing other criminal charges. Ratana is a career criminal.

 

The exhibit that Ratana vandalized was a wooden panel repeating the precise wording of the English language version of the Treaty of Waitangi. It was a team effort.

Ratana and is co-vandals cooperated to wreck the display with paint and an angle grinder. Ratana abseiled down from Te Papa’s ceiling, personally conducting the vandalism and painting on the exhibit the words “No. Her Majesty the Queen of England is the alien. ration the Queen’s veges”.

 

Ratana and his three other co-vandals each claim membership of an activist group named “Te Waka Hourua”. The four, and their accomplices and co-conspiracists, were motivated to wreck the panel by a bonkers belief that the chiefly Maori signatories to the English and Maori language versions of the Treaty of Waitangi did not want, or sign up for, a central New Zealand government for all New Zealanders, including Maori.

 

Their belief, either mistaken or disingenuous, is indisputably ahistorical and incorrect. Two of the other vandals were also on bail for criminal charges at the time of the vandalism.

 

Te Papa leadership and staff allowed and enabled the vandalism. Te Papa’s Chief Executive at the time of the vandalism was, and still is, Courtney Johnston. Te Papa’s “Māori Co‑leader” was and still is Dr Arapata Hakiwai.

 

Aiding and abetting the vandalism of the exhibit was part of a broader plan formulated by Te Papa. Within a few months of the vandalism, Te Papa loaned the vandalized exhibit to Victoria University of Wellington’s Adam Art Gallery, where it remains. The Gallery celebrates the “redaction”, in the following glowing terms:


Te Waka Houra is a tangata whenua led group of activists and artists. They formed in Paekākāriki in 2019, as an offshoot of the Aotearoa branch of Extinction Rebellion.

 

The rōpū are known for their ongoing engagement with Te Papa Tongarewa, resulting in their action on December 11 2023, when they redacted a display panel in the Te Tiriti o Waitangi: Ngā tohu kotahitangaTreaty of Waitangi: Signs of a Nation exhibition.

 

Te Waka Hourua went on to host an exhibition called Whītiki, Mātike, Whakatika! at Enjoy Contemporary Art Space in 2024, and to publish a book with the same name with 5ever Books. While they are primarily concerned with Te Tiriti, social and climate justice, Te Waka Hourua encourages everyone to gain an understanding of our collective past, current and future conditions – including Te Tiriti – and what role we want to play in solving the collective challenges we face in society.

 

Victoria University’s celebration of the vandalism encourages public participation. Fellow Travelers are invited to pop in and create their very own screen prints of the vandalized panel. The Adam Art Gallery’s website includes this cheery content:

 



(I’ve covered joint facilitator of the celebratory screen printing, Valerie Morse, in an earlier Substack)

In addition to clothing screen-printed with evidence of his criminality, Ratana also naturally relishes and wears the keffiyeh, a scarf worn to indicate support for the Palestinians and their brutal overlords, Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas.

 

I’m told the District Court Judge who dismissed the criminal charges against Ratana is Noel Sainsbury and that the Crown Solicitor who withdrew the charges is Grant Burston of law firm Luke Cunningham Clere. We don’t know the particular reasons why the Crown prosecutor withdrew the charges or why the Judge dismissed them. Those reasons have all been kept secret.

 

It’s important, Dear Readers, to understand the difference between simple withdrawal of criminal charges, and withdrawal and dismissal. Withdrawal of charges, without dismissal, allows the charges to be re-laid later. When a judge adds dismissal, the charges cannot be re-laid.

 

The defendant is blessed with a perfect get-out-of-jail free card. Ratana is now free as a bird to romp on with his criminal activism.

Integral to Ratana’s escape from justice was his uncle, Te Ururoa Flavell, an ex-Maori Party MP. We don’t know exactly why the Court let Ratana off the hook. We do know that Flavell provided “expert” “tikanga” evidence in support of Ratana’s defence - bollocks that the Court was evidently all too keen to take on board. Flavell came up with some sort of nepotistic advocacy in favour of his annoying nephew, which the Court clearly gulped down.

 

The remarkable features of this sick subversion of New Zealand’s justice system are the brazenness of the actors, and how concerted their activities were. This sorry saga has laid bare what we’ve all strongly suspected. The neo-Marxists are operating in lockstep, with a great ground game…

We have our national museum working with anarcho-activists to wreck an exhibit. The “redacted” result is then whipped off to an art gallery run and funded by a State-funded tertiary institution to celebrate a bogus notion that a nascent nation of people with Maori ancestry is about to germinate.

 

Neo-Marxists like Morse tag in and suck on the tertiary education tit. Political partisan State prosecutors dismiss the charges, deferring to tikanga twaddle trotted out by the vandal’s uncle. The Court laps it all up and dismisses the charges. And a supplicant mainstream media reports this nasty nonsense as another marvelous and wonderful chapter in the subversion of New Zealand’s Western democracy.

 

Consider, if you will, what would happen if a white skinned New Zealand nationalist were to waltz into Te Papa tomorrow and vandalize the Maori language version of the Treaty exhibit. We know, full well, don’t we, exactly how that’d pan out.

 

The perpetrator would be imprisoned within a year. Self-evidently, New Zealand now has a Two Tier police and justice system, and a Government with no genuine appetite to do anything about the parlous predicament in which we find ourselves.

 

Working feverishly to bring all this together was, no doubt, ex-Solicitor General, Crown Law CEO and Critical Race Theorist, Una Jagose. The Ratana fiasco reeks of Jagose. I’ve commented before on this disgraceful woman (so has this blog - ed), whose term as Solicitor General ended in February 2026.

 

The Ratana judicial system debacle is much more than an unfortunate aberration, to be criticised but quickly forgotten. Ratana’s evasion of culpability represents a complete and abject failure of New Zealand’s rule of law and criminal justice system.

 

In these dark days, it’s not at all clear what can be done to right the ship. The lunatics may well have successfully taken over Asylum Aotearoa. With a Labour/Greens/Maori Party Government after the next election, the New Deal will be done and dusted. God help us.
