As Kaylor notes,

"White supremacists have appropriated Crusader imagery to cast themselves as Christian warriors fighting to drive out Muslims and others in the name of God."

Erster Gedanke: "Oh Scheisse, ich habe nen #Glaubenskrieg am Arsch."

Aber ich bin noch muede,

Also beantworten wir das mal ehrlich:
Ich mag Earl Grey. Den von #Twinings.

So jetzt ist es raus. Ich bin ein Barbar.

Btw. ich praeferiere #vim vor #emacs.

"Meanwhile, within parts of the Trump coalition, the war has been framed not merely as strategic necessity but as a sacred mission. Political figures including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Sen. Lindsey Graham, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and current ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee have invoked biblical language suggesting that the conflict with Iran carries the meaning of a holy war."

And it's not just an American vibe. During recent conflicts, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has drawn on biblical language—including references to "Amalek"—in ways widely reported and debated in international media. When modern geopolitics starts sounding like ancient scripture, you know the prophecy engines are really starting to hum.

It adds a certain je ne sais quoi to a press briefing.

Of course, critics—like Mikey Weinstein—argue that mixing religious certainty with military power risks undermining cohesion in a pluralistic force. He and others have warned, in multiple interviews and filings, that framing conflict in theological terms can escalate tensions rather than resolve them.

But perhaps they're missing the bigger picture.

They're focused on the rivers of blood, when they should be focused on the prophesied river of life, clear as crystal.

So let's keep the briefings coming. Let's keep the narratives aligned. Because according to a well-worn paperback copy of Left Behind and a surprisingly persuasive county fair pamphlet, this is how we get to the good part.

I, for one, am excited to finally meet that lion who wants to be best friends with a lamb.

I just hope he's not a pre-wrath kind of lion.

That would really ruin the vibe.

"they want that more than anything, because it heralds the Second Coming. The Rapture is so close, they can taste it. The last thing we want to do is give these crackpots free rein."

"And that’s the problem when individuals with real power—folks like Peter Thiel and Pete Hegseth, Mike Huckabee and Mike Johnson—genuinely believe in this Apocalypse claptrap; they have some ability to see the prophecies fulfilled. True Believers have a vested interest in there being a gigantic war in the Middle East, where Russia and Iran and the Arab States invade Israel;" (continued in /3)

"Do you support internment camps for undocumented immigrants where they should be rounded up until they can be deported? Even when we put that language into a question, we've got a majority of Republicans [and white evangelicals] now saying, yeah, I'm down with that."

"And this is the America that we're living in, that we literally are having internment camps. And we've polled on this. And what we're finding is that, again, it's a majority of Republicans and a super majority of white evangelical Christians who actually, even when we say to them, internment camps," (continued in /37)
