(I apologize in advance as this post is very dark, but unless people get strong enough to overcome darkness, winning WWIII is unlikely)
How do wars start?
Well there’s always a story behind it. If we’re going to try and tackle what might happen today, everyone will have someone to blame. If it is Europe, it is Russia’s fault, if it’s Taiwan, it’s China’s fault, and if it is the Ukraine, it’s America’s fault.
As an aside, the father of a dear friend of mine is North American Native Indian who became a very financially successful chief using the land and natural resources of his band’s hereditary area. He bankrolled his natural resources success into investments in developing Ukrainian mining resources. His experience was that the Ukraine is the most corrupt place in the world. One has to wonder if all the world’s deadly interest in controlling that region is about the value of the metals underground.
If WWIII starts in the middle east, it’s Iran’s fault? or is it Israel’s fault? Is it the Palestinian’s fault (because they started it…) or was it all Libya’s fault?
How can people make sense of complex systems?
(I usually start with the basics, as I try to do in all my substacks.)
When it comes to War, at the end of the day, it’s always someone’s fault, which makes it any way that you look at it, it’s humanity’s fault.
Let’s figure out why.
In my previous article below, I asked readers to consider the DESIGN of systems; vengeance / forgiveness; reward / punishment; God / Devil.
The most important concept I wanted people to grasp was internal / external, and how it relates to control. Internal behavior controlers through emotions like greed and fear; contrasted with external controlers such as money and government. Many readers extrapolated this concept through to the logical endpoint of belief systems commonly known as religions and philosophies.
But from my twitter feed, I see how this concept did not get through to as many people as I hoped. So today’s post is going to be Explicit telling straight out what was Implicit in my previous substacks.
Why am I doing this?
(this is going to be controversial)
Because the people who currently control the world are very advanced philosophers, religious scholars, AND manipulators of the way people’s think.
Unless we the people start thinking at an equally advanced level, we cannot win.
Today’s Subject of Logical Critique:
A Trinity of warring religions.
Islam
Christianity
Judaism.

Object of Testing
Old Testament - Book of Samuel.
As far as I’m aware, the verse quoted below is common to all 3 religions.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel%2015&version=NIV
1 Samuel 15 (New International Version)
The Lord Rejects Saul as King
15 Samuel said to Saul, “I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. 2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
Analysis:
**We must be generous with the interpretation here as the English NIV Bible I quote may be a translation from Aramaic, Hebrew, or a mix of both.
Therefore we must stick to facts as much as possible:
The Facts:
“Lord Almighty” will punish the “Amalekites”
“Lord Almighty” does so by ordering his “people” to attack the Amalekites.
The attack is motivated by revenge for what Amalekites did to Israel.
The parts where mis-translation is unlikely:
“totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them.”
“Do not spare them; put to death men and women,”
(put to death…) “children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys”
Context:
References to “Amalekites” in the Old Testament refer to a tribe that at various times plundered the Israelites and “…attacked all who were lagging behind; they had no fear of God.” (Deuteronomy 25 18)
Eventually it appears the Lord Almighty’s orders for genocide was successful and in 1 Chronicles 4:43 “They killed the remaining Amalekites who had escaped,…”
My Personal Context:
(Skip if you just want to get to the analysis)
Back in medical school I chose to have my Psychiatry rotation in Forensic Psychiatry and Child Psychiatry. I know many people have strong views about psychiatry, with many believing the entire field is a fraud. As a scientist I entered the rotations thinking all illnesses were biological, and were therefore curable biologically. Learning from “incurable” cases therefore presented the greatest challenge and therefore the greatest opportunity to gain knowledge. Child psychiatry and forensic psychiatry had the most “incurable” or as we called it, “treatment resistant” cases. I witnessed illnesses far beyond what bad biology or a bad environment could cause. Patients, some of whom were children had illnesses of the mind (and probably spirit) not repairable by a change in environment, nutrition or therapy. Their parents were normal, their diet was normal, but their actions and thoughts were far beyond what most people can imagine. These were the sickest of the sick, where only mind numbing medications could make a few safe enough to enter society, and many couldn’t even do that.
What I observed in medical school was that many forensic psychiatric patients described being commanded by “God” to do the acts that brought them into psychiatric jail. They’d state this in both interviews and in their writings.
(The unfortunate fact of humanity is that for both spoken and written words, the claim that something came from “God” doesn’t actually mean it is true. This is true today, and of all likelihoods, equally true for the past humans as well, going all the way back 10, 100, and tens of thousands of years.)
One of the interviews I remember during medical school, was with a serial killer. The only indication that there was anything wrong was the brief twinkle in his eye when he recalled one of his murders. His diagnosis was psychopathy. No amount of medication or therapy could change the joy he got from harming others. The reality is that some psychopaths are relatively intelligent; and I suspect the most intelligent ones outwit both doctors and law enforcement and are able to remain outside of institutions.
This leads to a societal problem for psychopaths. If they kill, they will either be quickly killed themselves or find themselves exiled from their prey. So for a psychopath, killing without getting caught OR creating situations where killing is socially acceptable are favorable. Both situations create an evolutionary pressure, such that when psychopaths occur, the surviving ones that get to pass on their psychopathy to future generations are usually the highly intelligent ones that evade capture, or are celebrated as heroes for killing.
What social event(s) exist where killing is acceptable?
#1: Wars
#2: Executions (and sometimes during acts of Law enforcement)
What “profession(s)” therefore might attract psychopaths looking for a “socially acceptable” kill?
Military (and sometimes Law enforcement)
What “profession(s)” might attract psychopaths looking for a “clean” kill with a good chance of circumventing criminal investigation?
Healthcare
Judiciary / Lawyers (and sometimes Law enforcement)
In Canada there was the famous case years ago of a Nurse serial killer in Ontario, who killed at least 8 patients over almost a decade before being caught. Just from COVID times alone, I myself documented 2 acts from doctors that I can only describe a psychopathic. 1 a head of ICU in BC who gave an order to remove evidence of the deadly act of giving a vaccine to a patient who was still critically ill:
Another was an ER doctor put a patient on a ventilator who did not need it, and then ordered a paralytic instead of a sedative when the patient showed signs of being awake:
(End of my Personal Stories)
Analysis
Using a moderate degree of wisdom, telling a group of people to kill the children and infants of an “enemy”, is a bad idea at best, if not completely immoral.
If the rationale was because the “Bad Guys” waylaid God’s “Chosen tribe”; (“Waylaid” means “inconvenienced” in English) that would be unreasonable. If the “waylaying” involved attacking and perhaps the murder of stragglers during an exodus journey, infanticide and killing children is still unreasonable.
If someone was actually Omnipotent, wouldn’t a better solution be a magic wall that repels anyone attacking the Israelites? Maybe one that gives a non-lethal electric shock to the attacker to discourage further attacks and maybe teach a little respect for the power of the God?
Isn’t having to order someone else to do the killing evidence of the lack of omnipotence?
Does it show a reasonable degree of maturity that the reason to kill listed in Deuteronomy 25:18 was that the Amalekites had “No fear of God”?
Teenagers
Most parents of all but the most obedient teenagers experience a day when their creation has no fear of them. Is that sin?
Is the solution to a fearless teenager the killing of that teenager?
Is the solution to a fearless teenager who had a baby killing that teenager AND killing the infant? (If the kids decided to carry through with a teenage pregnancy?)
(If I am “mis-interpreting” scripture there’s only 1 of two possibilities. Either the reader is at fault and I can’t comprehend written words, OR the communicator is not stating his message CLEARLY. Should an Omnipotent and Omniscient God also be a perfect communicator? Or should God communicate in misleading ways?)
There’s another passage in Deuteronomy 25 about cutting off the hand of a woman who tries to save her husband from being murdered by another man. No specifics on whether the woman is trying to save her husband’s life from another man who is attacking just for fun or if the fight is “justified” over accusations of stealing cattle. Either way the “Lord Almighty” says to cut off her hand.
Is it any wonder that at least 1 of the 3 old testament religions still believes in stoning women to death?
And before the other Old Testament religion that is most often at war with the one that still stones women to death, claims superiority, read the news below ask if this is any better?
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-07-30/riot-erupts-israeli-military-base-after-idf-reservists-arrested-sex-abuse-prisoners
(BTW. It’s not just the sodomites in this case, it’s all the people who support them because the victim was an “Amalekite” aka terrorist.)
From a greater perspective, there’s only 1 Old Testament Religion that has any hope of morality; hopes which greatly improve if followers can overcome the psychological programming of the Old Testament.
Why?
(I’ll leave it to the reader figure that out. But I will give a hint. During my recent travels in the East, the most notable change I noticed is that when someone tells you that you’re acting like “God”, it’s because you did something particularly kind, forgiving or courageous. When someone goes on an irrational “Power Trip”, here in the East they say that person is acting like the Devil. In Western Civilization, the unreasonable use of power is often labelled “Acting like God”.)
Addendum about psychopaths:
What kinds of societies are most BENEFICIAL to psychopaths?
How about fearful societies with fearful people?
Would that give psychopaths the most freedom to kill and harm?
What creates fear in people?
Does it originate in thought systems? i.e. Religions?
Isn’t courage the antidote to fear?
If so why isn’t courage in the 10 commandments?
If a Psychopath were to build a civilization, how would they build it?
Here’s a clue:
Are there sins missing from the 7 deadly ones? Isn’t fear the deadliest sin? Or how about deception? Shouldn’t there be 9? or 10?
About possible commandments missing from the first 10, I did a video about it over a year ago.

Addendum #2
Who is an “Amalekite”?
I suspect from the perspective of the super elite (the kind that run nations and banks from behind the scenes) it is anyone who doesn’t sit at their table.
Thank you Daniel for writing about WWIII, Ukraine, Isra-HELL, Religion and psychiatry (psychopaths).
Excellent post and I don't see any reason to apologize for putting blatant facts, reality into writing.
There isn't one politician or drug pushing doctor apologizing for killing patients, right?
How I understand/understood War.
Growing up in a "peaceful" Country with no War within I can't comprehend the killing in the Name of Greed Profit Power & Control.
The "war" I experienced was within my own family, there was an abundance of hate, jealousy and pure evil.
As a kid I loved being around seniors and many of my neighbours became a second family. I loved helping them and in return I would be showered with informations, wisdom and kindness.
Yes, War is the fault of Humans, Evil Humans. It is the ultimate failure of bridging the difference between nations just like Jacque Fresco said:
-"War, poverty, corruption, hunger, misery, human suffering will not change in a monetary system. That is, there will be very little significant change. It’s going to take the redesign of our culture and values." Jacque Fresco
The world is full of psychopaths and they are not the ones the average citizen would suspect.
So many people now use the phrase now, "oh yeah, they must be mentally ill"....
I also spent many years (decades) in the health care system so I understand and can imagine the horrors that you Daniel have seen. As a parent of a BPD (borderline personality disorder) diagnosed child here in Canada, BC, we/I endured the crimes against our most vulnerable.
There is no HEALTH Care especially no MENTAL HEALTH CARE, the way our patients are treated is criminal.
Sad that so many out there don't know much about mental illness or don't want to know or don't care, just like they don't care that our Rulers are Psychopath. We're ruled by the ugliest evil cult who only answers to Satan.
Fear is something I don't babysit, never did. Yes of course I got/get afraid, but that's where courage comes in and I won't let fear stop me.
I see the fearful society and most of them are people that are afraid of speaking out, they repeat the bs news, glued to their TV ++, hooked on reality shows, soap opera's, sports of kinds, religion, always in the know about rich & famous folks, anything to avoid reality. I believe if they would see reality for what it is, they would have to get their butt off the couch and they would have to do something about it, and that is way too hard, hence they just keep their head buried in the sand.
The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of The World Is Working Brilliantly Evil.
Still today some of the greatest weapons the Elite uses is Divide and Conquer. The scamdemic is the latest proof.
I don't do Religion. I don't need religion to have morals, I know right from wrong, I have a huge amount of empathy, compassion, generosity, sympathy, the very traits psychopaths (politicians etc) don't have or lack by choice or design.
Poverty, War, homelessness, addictions, pharma greed, All By Design. The Love Lust for money is pure Evil driven, nobody needs to be a Billionaire. I blame mostly the people that worship that kind of filth fame and riches.
If I may add this link below? Fresco is my mentor.

All religions of which I’m aware seem to have been created to sustain human power structures which actually keep people/followers within those structures separated from the Divine Universal Limitless Creative Force (ie, “god”) that underlies everything. Note: I do not consider buddhist or taoist traditions or practices to be religions because they do not require belief in a certain “God story” to belong but rather the practice of certain ACTIONS designed to help achieve freedom of body mind and spirit and lasting deepening connection to the peace that lies within the vast unknowability of the Divine (“beginners” or “child’s” mind). There are of course people and subcultures and sects within all three Abrahamic religions that also seek real connection with the Divine. But they do so IN SPITE OF or even SET AGAINST the basic power structures and stories of their religions and affiliations. The surest way out of our current morass is a rejection of ALL these false prophets and religions. I think it’s all fear-based hooey and I’m tired of hearing almost everyone on earth go on about this nonsense. We are all literally intrinsically integrated into and manifestations of the Divine. Everything is. Humans are also really good at telling themselves and others stories. Many of which are bullshit. Hence the utility of a practice designed to facilitate detachment from stories. Peace.
