Trump is threatening all Iranians - and not only the Mullah regime - with attacks
"TWENTY TIMES HARDER" than were carried out until now if Teheran stops the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz".
He promises to hit them so hard "that it will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation" - "Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them"
This announcement is nothing less than a genocidal threat possibly undertaken with nuclear weapons, and is far beyond any rational calculation of cause and effect in geostrategic terms.
So a scenario of WW3 risking the use of the atomic arsenal of USA, Israel, Russia and China is not unimaginable any more. The stakes are so high that even the defeat of the US seems to be possible in the long run, but regarding the religious fervor heating up in Iran, in Israel and the US a much more dangerous escalation might be imminent in shorter time.
This video highlights a report from The Telegraph detailing a significant rise in demand for nuclear doomsday bunkers amidst increasing global conflicts, particularly involving Iran and Israel

This week Iāll be offering my novel, HUMAN, for free on itch.io. I would encourage folks to support itch.io, an open marketplace for independent digital creators that doesnāt exploit artists or customers. HUMAN will remain on itch.io at a lower price than at other retailers after this free offering. I hope you enjoy it.
https://bretthodnett.itch.io/human
A remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.
When Aylaās research takes her to a remote river in Canadaās far north, Chris brings their daughter to an isolated island in the southern Pacific. Though at opposite ends of the earth, they both awaken one morning to black skies, and a night that doesnāt end. Slowly, Ayla and Chris begin to realize that humanity has been inexplicably wiped out, and only their isolation has saved them. Besides the handful of people around them, they are now alone in the world. As they struggle to build new ways to live, they must also struggle with how to let go of their past.
Millions of years later, when their descendants finally meet, they have evolved to become two very different kinds of humans, with two very different civilizations. As each tries to build a better world for themselves, navigating love, loss, betrayal and success within their own societies, their biggest challenge may be to recognize the humanity of the other.

Itās Sunday, and war is raging (again) in the Middle East. This time around, the strains of fundamentalist Christian thought are hard to miss in the justifications of the role of the U.S. in the conflict. The widely-circulated reports of troops being briefed that the war in Iran is meant to hasten the Biblical End Times may or may not be true. But it seems clear that the millennial contingent in Trumpās movement is all in on an apocalypse. (And here.) As the right-wing site Media Matters reports, āChristian media figures have claimed that the Iran war could signal āthe second comingā or the āEnd Timesā and said āwe are watching incredible prophecy in this time come to passā.ā
Tal Lavin has reached back to the work he did for his book Wild Faith to help us understandā¦
As chaos and violence break out across the Middle East in a war led by the US with Israel as junior partner, I wanted to revisit my research on Christian apocalyptic prophecy⦠about the evangelical Christians eagerly looking forward to the end of the worldāand influencing foreign policy to bring it closer. Itās difficult to conceive of willful courting of disaster for religious reasons, but decades of modern Christian prophecy eagerly foresee mass bloodshed in the Middle East as a prelude to Christās triumphant return. Evangelicals of this stripe form a crucial part of Trumpās base and governing coalitionā¦
Eminently worth reading in full: āYearning for the Apocalypse,ā from @swordsjew.bsky.social.
And lest we think that this inveighling is in any way unprecedented, Matthew Avery Sutton, reminds us that thereās a long history of politics using religion (and vice versa). In an excerpt from his new book, Chosen Land: How Christianity Made America and Americans Remade Christianity, he tells the story of Reconstuction, during which churches were mobilized on both sides of the divide-that-never-went-awayā¦
⦠In the aftermath of the Civil War, federal leaders sought help from Christian groups⦠as they sought to reassert their power across the entire United States. The US Army had won on the battlefields, and now governing authorities and their protestant collaborators sought to secure the peace. They aimed to reconstruct the nation, to rebuild Americansā shattered sense of their nationās exceptional history and manifest destiny, and to reinvigorate their commitment to the United Statesā Christian mission. But to succeed, policymakers knew they needed to limit dissentāincluding religious dissent.
Christian activists played key roles in every part of postwar reconstruction. In the South, Black ministers and White missionaries welcomed the formerly enslaved into the faith and worked with them to establish independent social and political lives. Defeated Southern Whites launched a multi-generation effort to defend their treason by reimagining the causes of the Civil War and Godās role in it. In the West, a series of Indian wars led to the US governmentās creation of a comprehensive reservation system, where government-sponsored missionaries sought to Christianize tribes and ācivilizeā their children. In Utah Territory the US government cracked down on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its impressive theocracy, seeking to quell religious dissent.
Across the nation, Reconstruction policies provided new opportunities for church leaders in collaboration with the government to impose their ideas and values on the land and its peoples. Protestant activists believed that they alone had the tools and expertise to integrate Black and Native peoples, former Confederates, and religious dissenters into the body politic, while bringing healing and reconciliation to all Americans on their terms. Rocked by the split over slavery and then the war, they worked to build unity by identifying common threats and enemies and organizing Christians against them. Their actions demonstrated that after the conflict, just as before, the free exercise clause did not apply to all equally. But minority groups constantly challenged the power of mainstream Christian leadersā¦
⦠Only about one-third of enslaved Americans considered themselves Christian at the start of the Civil War. But in the Reconstruction era Black church going skyrocketed. And just about all of those who converted chose to attend Black-led churches. The days of Southern Black Christians submitting to second-class treatment in the house of the Lord had ended. In urban areas, African Americans could usually join churches that Black activists had founded before the war. In rural areas, they had fewer options. They sometimes had to settle for makeshift meetings in vacant buildings or arrange outdoor services until they could build rudimentary houses of worship.
Black clergy became some of the strongest advocates for full equality and rights in the postwar South. Seeing Jesus as a liberator, they aimed to make the egalitarianism of the gospel and the Declarationās line that āall men are created equalā the reality in the United States. Many engaged directly in politics, understanding that while slavery might have ended, securing political equality required vigilanceā¦
⦠Black ministersā political engagement made them targets of violence. Members of the Ku Klux Klan, a [Protestant-led] terrorist organization founded by Southern Whites shortly after the war, burned down churches and threatened Black activists. A journalist testified to the US Senate about his interview with a minister. While āhe had been preaching on the circuit,ā Klansmen dragged the preacher from bed in the middle of the night and ābeat him severely.ā They ātold him that if he returned to the county he would suffer for it.ā This was one example of many. As racial violence escalated in the South, serving as a minister proved dangerousā¦
⦠Historian, sociologist, and Black activist W.E.B. Du Bois summarized in 1903 the role that churches played in Black life, especially in the postwar South. āThe Negro church of today is the social centre of Negro life in the United States,ā he wrote, āand the most characteristic expression of African character.ā Postwar Black churches, as Du Bois understood, represented the heart of Black efforts to secure social, political, and religious equality. Church leaders had engineered the Christian faith into a tool of liberation, which made them a threat to the White Christians of the South and much of the rest of the United States.
In addition to working to suppress Black political and religious power, many Southern Whites launched a quasi-religious campaign to reshape the memory of the Civil War. Rather than acknowledge their deep investment in slavery, they recast the conflict as a tragic clash between two honorable forcesāthe North fighting to preserve the Union, and the South struggling to defend local autonomy and statesā rights. The authors of this revisionist account reduced slavery to a secondary issue, incidental to the ārealā causes of the war. As a result, by warās end, many White Southerners felt they had no reason to repent, no moral reckoning to face, and no obligation to embrace Black equality or suffrage. For them, the war had simply preserved the Union and, almost as an afterthought, ended slavery. Nothing more.
Christianity became central to this new Southern narrative. In defeat, White Southerners cast themselves in the role of Christ, imagining their suffering as redemptive. They claimed they had sacrificed for the greater good of the nation, their valuesāchivalric protection of White women, paternalistic care for those they enslaved, and Christian devotionāpositioned them as the rightful moral leaders of the country. In their view, God had chosen them to guide the nation toward righteousness, but first he had humbled and purified them through the bloodshed of warā¦

We are reminded why our founding fathersā so many of them, Deistsā so wisely insisted on freedom of religion and separation of church and state.
