The Transcript
A voice is named only when we can verify it — by voiceprint, an @handle present in the room, or the Space’s own title. Anyone we can’t confirm stays “Speaker,” on purpose.
Ian MalcolmI found that very interesting and kind of comical.
Ian MalcolmThat they're now trying to label that Grok is anti-Semitic because it's answering his questions despite all of the obvious shielding that it does for the set of interests that we always talk about. But I suppose just answering basic questions with yes or no, that that is really dangerous when you've built a house of cards entirely upon lies.
Ian MalcolmAnd so what a wild space. I think we had 7,000 or 8,000 people in there over the course of a couple hours. So really humbled that we got to have that wonderful conversation. Really funny individual, and I strongly recommend everybody go back. If you didn't listen, I also gave a little bit of a, I hate to use the term monologue, but I gave a little bit of a comprehensive overview.
Ian MalcolmOn lavender and what it is that I think that is doing and where it's all going. So if anybody's interested, certainly just bookmark that for later. Go back and give it a listen either here or anywhere else. And that is, of course, as I mentioned on that last space, available on Rumble, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify. We were on YouTube for a whopping 48 hours almost.
Ian MalcolmWe didn't actually make it to the 48-hour mark before they nuked us. But you can still find it on the other three networks as well as ianmalcolm84.com. And that is only because of the unbelievable work that allegedly Dank has been doing for our cause. He is an absolute AI superstar. And I'm going to put up into the nest two things right now.
Ian MalcolmThe first of which is the 9-11 25-year anniversary documentary series that allegedly Dank put together. That is basically a hour or so of Truth Teller talking through the space that we did on 9-11 to, of course, honor the 25th anniversary of that atrocity. He went over every angle you can imagine. Truth Teller pulled out all the stops and allegedly Dank paired that with some unbelievable video that basically serves as background tracking to Mr.
Ian MalcolmTruth Teller's words. It also incorporates all of the reels From the various news organizations, including, if I'm not mistaken, Donald Trump himself, saying, I think there must have been explosives in the Twin Towers. This doesn't make sense otherwise. So some really unbelievable footage that he put together. The second thing that I'm going to throw up there is this piece that we just talked about, for anybody not familiar, on lavender and what it is being used for to essentially tag and track and then keep tabs over
Ian MalcolmNot only dissidents, but also those associated with them. So for those individuals that are in these spaces, unfortunately, no, and I don't say this to scare anybody, but know that just by merely being here, they perceive you as a threat. Now, why? Because the truth is really scary to these people. In fact, I believe that the pen is still mightier than the sword, as the unbelievable, not only David Nietzsche would say, but of course he'd be...
Ian MalcolmParaphrasing or quoting somebody of the past. So this idea of truth and of sharing it is far more threatening to this group in power than anything that we can do, kinetically speaking, aside from being out in the streets talking about these issues with everybody that will listen. We are building a coalition of millions and millions and tens of millions of people.
Ian MalcolmAnd by the time we are done building that backstop to the lies... We will basically already have won. Whatever is going to follow, I hope that is going to be peaceful protests, demonstrations, the ability for us to basically politically remove from power the sociopaths, to boycott the people that are pushing all the degeneracy, and to build more or less a parallel economic and let's call it media operation so that we can bring the truth, we can elevate the truth tellers, we can make the world a better place.
Ian MalcolmIf not, well then perhaps some other things might come about. I'm trying to avoid that with every fiber of my being. I don't want this place to go down in flames. The best thing for all of us is for the Jewish supremacists to recognize we see what they're doing. They are the Wizard of Oz. We recognize they're behind the curtain.
Ian MalcolmWe're not going to pay attention to them anymore. And in doing so, maybe they'll just leave on their own volition. That's the hope, I suppose, on my side, is that they merely say the ruse is up. Maybe we're not so liked because perhaps we're criminals. and perhaps the courts are going to come after us because we've done a lot of criminal treasonous things, right?
Ian MalcolmAnd then maybe those people would decide there's going to be greener pastures for them to parasitize somewhere else. Again, this is all us trying to advocate for a true, open, honest society in which, and how crazy does this sound? The criminals are held accountable for being criminals and the people that are patriots are not treated like criminals because the criminals run essentially the institutions.
Ian MalcolmSo that's what we're trying to fight for. And along those lines, what I did want to do is to open and offer a space for Mr. Raed to be able to walk through all that is taking place in Lebanon so he can give background on Christianity. And so, to answer JoAnn's question about the song, well, obviously, that is Creed, right?
Ian MalcolmCreed, which the name should be rather fitting for everybody. What is the song with arms wide open in reference, perhaps, to the man that died on a cross?
Ian MalcolmThere's a whole lot of people over in Lebanon that are not your enemies. There's a lot of people that you probably have far more in common with than you might your own leaders, whether you're in the United States or anywhere in Western Europe, because those people largely come from a tribe who hate not only you and your liberties and your freedom, but perhaps above and beyond anything else, they certainly hate Jesus Christ.
Ian MalcolmSo we're going to be talking about that in this space, in this conversation. I am very humbled for all of you to be here. I'm very humbled again that we had that unbelievable space with Mr. Jeff prior to this. So for anybody and everybody that's out there, I just want to thank you in advance for being here. I want to thank Ms. JoAnn, the co-hostess with Eternally the Mostess.
Ian MalcolmAnd speaking of eternal, what better way or word to segue our way into this conversation with Mr. Raed. And so Raed, again, my brother from another mother on the other side of the globe. I hope you're having a wonderful day, my friend. I'm very excited to learn from you about this subject.
@thelevantinemanThank you. Thank you, Ian. Thank you so much. And absolutely a brother from another mother. It is so true. And it is such a blessing, you know, in this world we live in with social media to find someone like you to relate to. And the rest of you beautiful people, JoAnn, thanks for everything, Mandy, Andy, Heidi. Levinon John is here.
@thelevantinemanI'm very happy for that as well. And the rest of you beautiful people. Well, look, there's a lot to say. I think the way I put things together to be short, not very quick and becomes like a course in university. It's very important to note that I'm not the absolute... Truth about things. I'm not the absolute authority about what I'm going to say, but what I would like to have is for people to be intrigued, to research more.
@thelevantinemanThere's a lot of aspects that I will speak about, and I have a video here. Now it's 50 minutes, but it is beautiful to listen to regardless of anything. It has so much valuable information, and I also want to talk a lot about it. A lot of things. So what I'm thinking to do is we'll do like a present for like half an hour and then we'll take some hands and then I'll present again like this.
@thelevantinemanWe will keep it interactive and this is where the fun is. But before I start, I just want to say something about me personally and my beliefs and from which angle I approach this topic. I am... I believe in something called Greater Syria or the Fertile Crescent. If someone wants to Google the Fertile Crescent, I believe that we are all one group of people, if you will, and that is my nationalism.
@thelevantinemanIf we look at the last 1,200 years of civilization, it is very clear that the people of the Fertile Crescent were always intermixing. And you can easily, if you look at the world, categorize them as one group, if you will, one race, etc. And also, I believe in secularism. In that area, the Levant, we have, let me list them for you in terms of Christianity.
@thelevantinemanI'm going to list, so in terms of Christianity, we have the Greek Orthodox, the Eastern Orthodox, Malachite Greek Catholics, we have Maronites that are Eastern Catholics, we have Syriac Orthodox, Armenian, Apostolic, Orthodox, and other communities. And also we have Samaritans, we have Yazidis, we have Baha'is, and also on the Muslim side, we have the Sunni Muslims, 12 or Shiites, Alawites, they're mostly Syrian, and Druze.
@thelevantinemanSo because of the nature of the land, the area where it is, where religions came from, and prophets came. We have evolved with time and many sects and religions are native to that land. But in general, we do not differentiate. We've lived together. There was always a civilized respect of each other. Of course, as human beings do, sometimes there were clashes.
@thelevantinemanBut in general, we all exist in harmony. The last 100 years, And this is where also part of you will, something that I can be definitely indefinite about as the truth, is that ever since the advent of Sykes-Picot to make place for the Zionist Talmudic project that is Israel, things have gone south for all communities, Christians and others.
@thelevantinemanAnd for me, The absolute enemy and the existential enemy for Lebanon is Israel. So, yeah, this is the caveat. And I know also for a fact, like I know my name, that eventually these people would be kicked out of the land they're trying to steal and rape. And they had a good run for 78 years. Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@thelevantinemanThese trees at once covered the sides of the mountains of Lebanon like a wooden blanket. That's too fast. I was listening to it on two speeds and I didn't change it back. I'm going to put it 1.25 is good, I think. All right, let's go. It isn't just a pretty symbol to decorate one of the most recognizable and enduring flags in the world.
@thelevantinemanThese trees that once covered the sides of the mountains of Lebanon like a wooden blanket are the backbone of an ancient and glorious nation that once stretched the length of the Mediterranean and connects its people back through untold ages, a symbol of strength, longevity, and continuity. Since the time of the Bronze Age, the people of Lebanon have been at the forefront of civilization, some of the most ancient and continuously inhabited cities in the world, the origin of the alphabet used by billions of people.
@thelevantinemanThe largest Roman era temple to Jupiter Neoplatonist philosophers like Porphyry of Tyre And their role in the formative years of Christianity under the Byzantines and the Crusader states Lebanon is a religiously diverse place where Christians make up nearly 40% of the population Yet who are these people who have made such a large but often unrecognized contribution to world history and culture Who have stood and continue to stand and endure countless hardships Like the mighty cedar upon the mountains of that beautiful land
@thelevantinemanWho are the Lebanese?
@thelevantinemanWhile some in the West refer to everyone in the region as Muslim, as if that were a race, and others try to categorize people by skin color, both approaches fail in Lebanon. There are nearly as many Christians in Lebanon as Muslims, and the population can be classed as a Mediterranean one, with typical medium to olive skin tone.
@thelevantinemanThere are many Lebanese that can pass as Southern Europeans. Former American politician and presidential candidate Ralph Nader is 100% ethnically Lebanese, for instance. A 2017 genetic study published by the American Society of Human Genetics titled Continuity and Admixture in the Last Five Millennia of Levantine History made a radical discovery.
@thelevantinemanThe modern Lebanese population is largely derived from the ancient Canaanites, those who would develop into the separate groups of Semitic languages such as Phoenician, Aramaic and Hebrew. Though they would adopt the Arabic language during the Middle Ages, the present Lebanese population has direct and substantial continuity with the ancient Canaanites.
@thelevantinemanThe genetic study determined that about half of the ancient Canaanite population of Bronze Age Sidon was derived from Levant-related ancestry, local to the region since the Paleolithic. However, the decisive factor appears to have been a large migration of Chalcolithic Iranian ancestry. From the region of the Zagros Mountains or the Armenian Plateau, probably somewhere between 4000 and 2500 B.C., this ancestry has recently been found.
@thelevantinemanNow, just quickly, some academics will say it's more Anatolian before 4000 B.C., but there's a lot of nuances. Yeah, just keep an open mind. Spread prehistorically to Cyprus, Crete, and the Peloponnese. and by the Middle Bronze Age to Sicily, likely representing Minoan or Mycenaean period migration from Crete. The influx of Iranian Chalcolithic ancestry has another curious twist.
@thelevantinemanIts primary component is that of the Caucasus hunter-gatherers at around 63%. Iranian Chalcolithic ancestry was a significant contributor to the Akkadian and Babylonian populations as well, and made up 50% of the Bronze Age Canaanite ancestry. With that in mind, it's possible The earliest recorded Semitic language is Akkadian at around 2500 BC, spoken throughout the northern Mesopotamia.
@thelevantinemanTheir language belonged to what is called the east branch of Semitic, while the ancestor language of Canaanite and Aramaic was a northwestern branch. The region the Caucasus' hunter-gatherers would have come from is not far from where the earliest Proto-Semitic language was recorded. and overlaps with the region where today the dwindling populations of Aramaic speakers live in northern Syria, Iraq, Iran and eastern Turkey near the borders of Armenia and not far from the ancient city of Nimrod.
@thelevantinemanAnd just quickly, I hope the sound is good. It just decided to rain at 4.15 in the morning and rain hard with thunder. First of all, I hope my internet doesn't cut. If it cuts, please let me know. And also, I'm sorry about all the noise. Hopefully, it will clear up.
Speaker 1It sounds perfect. It's okay.
@thelevantinemanPerfect. Let's go. Hunter-gatherer ancestry also makes up almost half of what is identified as step pastoral ancestry, such as the Yamnaya. At some point, Eastern hunter-gatherers living on the steppes north of the Caucasus, mixed with this group, mostly taking on female lineages, and further studies are required to determine its exact origins.
@thelevantinemanHowever, it potentially creates an ancient link between Semitic and Proto-Indo-European populations. It may explain why there appears to be some Semitic influences in Proto-Indo-European. Unexplained cognate words and numbers like horn, goat, seven, grain, the word to trade, the word for an axe, the word for a bull, and numerous others
@thelevantinemanseem to be cognate between Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Semitic. There are also some grammatical coincidences or possibly correspondences. This requires a separate investigation into this topic, but shows that Proto-Indo-Europeans likely at least had some type of interactions with early Semitic-speaking populations. They may have acquired things like domesticated cows and goats from them.
@thelevantinemanAnd potentially, the Cox's hunter-gatherers are the link between Indo-European and Semitic. And they went on to form a significant core of the Canaanite, Akkadian, and Babylonian populations. Iranian Chalcolithic ancestry also appears in Saudi Arabia, in higher concentrations in the east than in the west, reflecting ancient migrations from Mesopotamia.
@thelevantinemanIt is perhaps in the realm of possibility that the ancient origins of the Semitic group of languages lies with the Caucasus hunter-gatherers. The ancient study also found that the modern Lebanese population has some stem-derived admixture that wasn't present in the early Bronze Age samples, seemingly around 7%. The mixing event is thought to be dated to the Middle Bronze Age or to the Early Iron Age.
@thelevantinemanIranian migrations, Armenian migrations, or even Greek migrations could be an explanation. The name for the country is truly ancient, coming from the proto-Semitic word laban, meaning white, in reference to the snowy mountains in wintertime. that so defined the landscape of the country. Mount Lebanon is home to the last of the old-growth cedar forests that once covered much of the country and would provide the backbone of the ancient Canaanite Mediterranean Empire.
@thelevantinemanAnd by 3300 BC, in the Levant, this was a time of the early Bronze Age. To the north of Lebanon, near Aleppo, in the Syrian Arab Republic, developed the Semitic Kingdom of Ebla. To the east was the Grand Sumerian city of Ur. Within the territory of modern Lebanon, The first houses of the city of Byblos or Gebel in Phoenician were being set.
@thelevantinemanBy 3000 BC, trading relations with Egypt were already well established. The Egyptians recorded the city's name in hieroglyphics dating to 2600 BC, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Boats crafted as the famous Lebanese timber were being... It's very important to note here that when he's speaking about Lebanon, that extension goes...
@thelevantinemanBuilt and exported to Egypt, and the Egyptians called any sea-going ship a Gebel ship, named after the Lebanese city. The Greek mangling of the city's name also gave its name to the Greek word for a book, Biblos, which became the English word for
@thelevantinemanBible, meaning the book, because it was in Byblos. Byblos is 45 minutes away from where I live in Beirut on the Mediterranean shore. It's probably around 1200 BC that the Phoenician script was invented and which began advancing bookmaking technologies that would spread to Greece. From at least 2500 BC, Sidon in the south had also developed into a bustling commercial hub, exporting cedar, olive oil, and wine while bringing in copper ore
@thelevantinemanSome from Cyprus, but some came from as far as Britain. Tyre is perhaps older still, at 2700 BC. Its name comes from a proto-Semitic word meaning rock, after the rock that it was built upon. It was visited in Greek times by Herodotus, who reported that the city's priests believed that it was first constructed as a walled palace upon the mainland, which they called Old Tyre.
@thelevantinemanEven in ancient Greek times, the city was already ancient, and surprisingly, Their dating of it was close to the mark. Even in Greek times, the city was already ancient, and that's Sur or Tyre. That's two hours to the south from Beirut. Actually, the Israelis bombed it in the last year, and they destroyed a lot. During the later Bronze Age, the city-states of Lebanon became major commercial centers on the Mediterranean.
@thelevantinemanThey manufactured and exported glass, purple dye, metalwork, and textiles. In fact, the name Phoenicia is developed from the color of their purple dye. Besides Egypt, they traded extensively with the Minoans and the Mycenaeans. Their methods of shipbuilding also seem to have influenced Minoan and Mycenaean ship technology.
@thelevantinemanYet their connections may have gone beyond simple trade. The Canaanites were strong seafarers who not only built ships with their cedar, But put them to extensive use, fishing, trading, and colonizing. By 2000 BC, Iranian Chalcolithic ancestry begins to appear in Cyprus, Crete, the Peloponnese, and Greece generally, quite possibly brought by an early wave of Canaanite colonists.
@thelevantinemanCyprus would become heavily Canaanite, and would remain linked to the Iron Age Phoenicians, but also serves as a test case for the blending that was occurring between Greeks and Canaanites, which influenced not only classical Greek culture, but Canaanite culture as well. When Mycenaean Greece was falling apart in 1200 BC, streams of Mycenaean migrants fled the country.
@thelevantinemanOne of their main known destinations was Cyprus, where a Mycenaean dialect of Greek, Arkados Cypriot, survived into the historical period. This close cultural connection between Canaanites and Greeks is first evidenced in the earliest Greek writing, the Iliad. Not only was it composed using a modified form of the Phoenician script,
@thelevantinemanBut it contains many mythical elements that connect Greeks and Canaanites. Perhaps the most dramatic is that of the story of Europa, who was the daughter of the Phoenician king of Tyre. Zeus brought her to Crete in the form of a bull, and she was mother of at least two of the judges of the dead. Her name likely means, the broad-faced one, and refers to the earth herself.
@thelevantinemanBut eventually the name becomes associated specifically with the continent that the Greeks dwelt on. It serves to explain the foundation of Crete, connecting Crete to the Phoenicians, which genetic studies suggest there was some truth to. The brother of Europa, Cadmus, becomes an ancient Greek hero, who is credited with giving the Greeks the Phoenician alphabet and founding the city of Thebes, possibly reflecting real historic traditions of Canaanite settlements in Greece.
@thelevantinemanThe cult of Aphrodite is also strongly influenced by the Canaanite goddess Astarte. With some suggesting there may be even an etymological connection, Cyprus was one of Aphrodite's main cult centers and the focus of some of her oldest myths. The hero Melkart has many similarities with Heracles and was interpreted as Heracles by the Greeks and Phoenicians.
@thelevantinemanThe idea of calling the Strait of Gibraltar the Pillars of Heracles and tales about the gods' adventures in the far west is likely derived from the importance of the cult of Melkart in the far west Phoenician colonies. But of course the Canaanites also had strong ties and cultural affinity with all Semitic people, such as the Akkadians.
@thelevantinemanThey shared many of the same gods, they spoke related Semitic languages, and they served as merchants and intermediaries between trade on the Mediterranean and the dynamic markets of Babylon. Yet the geography of the region would play a decisive factor. Politically, the city-states of the Levant were increasingly being pinched between two larger powers, Egypt and the Hittites.
@thelevantinemanByblos was the front line in that political power divide. The Battle of Kadesh, an ancient Canaanite city now located on the borders of Lebanon and Syria, was emblematic of this fight for the domination of the region. It was said to have been the largest chariot battle in history. The influence of Egypt is likewise preserved in the Old Testament, where a major narrative involves seeking liberation from the domination of the Pharaoh.
@thelevantinemanThat liberation would come, but in an unexpected way. The Collapse of the Mediterranean Bronze Age and the Coming of the Sea People There is much debate about exactly who the Sea People were, but there is little doubt that the invasion by these people recorded in Egyptian texts had a dramatic effect on the region. This Mediterranean raiding and colonizing, seemingly in part involving bands of Greeks, coupled with climate shifts that caused colder weather and droughts, brought chaos to the entire region and saw the downfall of the Hittites, the weakening of Egypt,
@thelevantinemanand the disappearance of many other states. Mycenaeans colonized Cyprus during this period, and they may have also settled in parts of what is now Israel and Palestine, possibly the origins of the name Palaset, or Philistines, related to the people in Greek myth known as the Pelasgians, possibly meaning the Sea Men. Such settlements may have also taken place in parts of Lebanon, and could account for some of the steppe ancestry possessed by the Lebanese population.
@thelevantinemanThere's an ad. I'm going to play another 10 minutes, and then I'll say a few things, and then we can chat a little bit about all that. I bring all that just to bring the history of how much nuance in opposition to what today the world views the Middle East, right? We are all the Middle East. And that doesn't mean anything.
@thelevantinemanAlso, we are all the Arab world. Doesn't mean much. It's also politics as well. Both are political terms. The Middle East is just the middle towards the east from London. That's what it is. That's why today we always emphasize on calling it West Asia or the Mediterranean or the east of the Mediterranean. That is the Levant.
@thelevantinemanCastles against the oncoming wave of history. It was a fate that the Canaanite city-states likewise suffered. Cities like Sidon, Tyre, Byblos, however, managed to escape the worst outcomes of the area. Though their trade networks had collapsed, their cities remained intact. They fortified and held strong, and by around 1000 BC, they were already reestablishing their trade links and growing again.
@thelevantinemanHowever, it was likely during this period that the major regional breaks in the Canaanite identity occurred. Those in the south bordering Egypt were beginning to develop their own separate tribal cult religion. This would eventually transform into the monotheism held by the Hebrews. There is no doubt that the Hebrews emerged from the Canaanites.
@thelevantinemanTheir languages are closely connected. and the territory overlaps. Early Greek writers speaking of the region frequently made no distinctions between them due to their similarities. However, the regional differences had been developing and likely crystallized into a more identifiable form by 1000 BC. This can be seen in the archaeological record with hilltop settlements appearing in the region of Israel-Palestine around 1200 BC, characterized by an absence of pig bones.
@thelevantinemanHowever, pork was a staple food among the Canaanites. and its absence likely demonstrates the development of specific Hebraic customs. At least some of those customs seem to have been derived from the ancient Egyptians. Herodotus says, The Phoenicians and the Syrians who dwell in Palestine confess themselves that they have learned it from the Egyptians.
@thelevantinemanThese are the only races of men who practice circumcision, and these evidently practice it in the same manner as the Egyptians. This is possibly contrasted with the more northern Canaanites. Who the Greeks had closer contact with when Herodotus says, I am not able to say which learnt from the other, for undoubtedly it is a most ancient custom, but that the other nations learnt it by intercourse with the Egyptians, this among others is to me a strong proof, namely that those of the Phoenicians who have intercourse with Hellas cease to follow the example of the Egyptians, and do not circumcise their children.
@thelevantinemanYet the Canaanites maintain close relations with the Hebrews. King Hiram of Tyre was sent to have sent King David lumber and skilled carpenters to build David's palace in Jerusalem. He made an alliance with David's son, Solomon, and Lebanese cedar, gold, and craftsmen helped build the first temple. Thus, when Lebanon emerges into the Iron Age, the Canaanites and the Hebrews were already distinguishing themselves as separate, though still closely linked, ethnic groups.
@thelevantinemanThese differences would become wider as the folk religion of the Hebrews took a purely monotheistic direction and even led to hostility. In the north, the Canaanite cities of Sidon, Tyre, and Byblos were becoming ever more important in Mediterranean trade. It was around the 9th century when the Greeks began to use the Phoenician alphabet to maintain their own records.
@thelevantinemanThe terrible irony is that although we have vast amounts of Greek writing which survive, there are almost no records from the Phoenicians. They were writing extensively and compiling books. But almost everything was written on parchment, and due to having not been preserved over time, almost nothing survives. Yet what little does survive shows the vast influence that the Canaanites were having.
@thelevantinemanOne inscription is found in southern Turkey, a bilingual Phoenician and Luwian inscription on the gates of the city of Karatepe. Another was in Piergi, Italy, within an Etruscan temple dedicated to the Canaanite goddess Ashtart, showing religious influence. A 9th century inscription in Sardinia shows that they already had colonies in the West.
@thelevantinemanTartessos in southwestern Iberia had, like the Greeks, imitated the Phoenician script and began writing as early as 825 BC. The reality is that Phoenicians had likely been active in the western Mediterranean long before these days, likely well back into the Bronze Age. The Mycenaeans had done likewise, which gave rise to the tales of Odysseus.
@thelevantinemanHowever, long before the rise of Rome, When the city was still just a village on the Palatine Hill surrounded by swamps, the Phoenicians had established colonies throughout the Mediterranean. However, unlike the later Romans, the Canaanites did not establish a formal empire, but a cultural one. Each of their cities acted independently, often cooperating with each other, but not operating with any formal political unity.
@thelevantinemanThis was true even in Lebanon, where Sidon, Tyre, and Byblos were separate, though closely integrated, kingdoms. In fact, we can't even be sure about how they identified themselves. The name Phoenician comes from the Greek word for the color of purple dye that they were famous for making. The Greeks don't refer to them as anything else, but they always distinguish them from the Assyrians and the Egyptians and mark them out as a distinct ethnic group.
@thelevantinemanFor instance, Herodotus informs us that the philosopher Thales of Miletus, one of the ancient Greek philosophers who counted one of the seven pre-Socratics, was in fact of the Phoenician race. Likely they still called themselves Canaanites, as in the Bible they are typically identified by their city name or simply called Canaanites.
@thelevantinemanAround 814 BC, the Phoenicians of Tyre founded the city of Carthage in a very advantageous location within striking distance of the lucrative Sicily and their colonies in Sardinia and the Balearic Islands. It's currently situated near Tunis in Tunisia. It became the Phoenician power center in the Western Mediterranean.
@thelevantinemanand eventually it would develop into a separate dialect and even language. Because of the dramatic political events that were to unfold in the Levant during the later Iron Age, Punic, the language of the Phoenicians of Carthage, would end up as the last bastion of the Phoenician language. From the 9th century to the 6th century BC, the Phoenicians had a golden age of prosperity and development.
@thelevantinemanYet the Levant, for all its appeal, had the drawback of being a relatively small strip of land. Surrounded on all sides by larger powers, they were able to overcome this limitation through a focus on trade and colonization, but they were not an empire or even a single kingdom. Despite over a hundred years of fierce resistance, by around 732, the entire region of the Levant would come under the control of the Assyrian Empire.
@thelevantinemanAramaic was likely established as a prestige language in the region at this time, as prominent factions in the empire were Aramaic speakers. Though more dramatic change would come later with the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar II, who destroyed the first temple in Jerusalem, followed by a 13-year siege to the city of Tyre from 586 to 573.
@thelevantinemanThe Babylonians would establish Aramaic as the language of state, and though their rule was short, soon replaced by the Persians, the language policy remained the same.
@thelevantinemanAnd when the swelling power of the Persians pushed against them in 539 BC, though they fought valiantly for several years, they could not hold it back.
@thelevantinemanBut they allowed them to maintain their autonomy and they continued to flourish. The second deadly blow to the Phoenicians was delivered by Alexander the Great. In 332 BC, after months of brutal siege, Tyre fell to the Greeks. When Alexander was refused entrance to the Temple of Melkart, he had 2,000 of the leading citizens crucified.
@thelevantinemanLikely in fear of this brutality, the rest of the Canaanite cities surrendered. It marked the end of the Phoenician political independence and the beginning of the end for the Canaanite identity. Greek and Aramaic became the language of state and trade, and the Phoenician language went into steep decline. The population became heavily Hellenized, a process that continued after the conquest by the Romans and its reorganization as part of the Roman province of Syria in 64 BC.
@thelevantinemanMany of their unique religious customs and cultural elements continued, but the language likely died out around the 1st century AD. The same process was afflicting the Jews to the South. Hebrew, closely related to Phoenician, was in steep decline, relegated to the status of a liturgical and scholarly language, while Aramaic and Greek was a typical language of communication, trade, and state affairs.
@thelevantinemanAramaic was also the language of Jesus. Alright, let's stop here. Aramaic was the language of Jesus, and then we'll continue with Christ.
@thelevantinemanJesus Christ, as we call him here. And then what's important for me in bringing this history is that the Talmudic tribe, with their control on academia and the printing of the books and the publishing houses, et cetera, et cetera, they want us It disappeared. And I'll go back to something I said in the earlier space, is that this is the mission, and this is what unites all of us, humanity in general, all of us who believe in truth, goodness, and beauty, right?
@thelevantinemanBecause they believe in the opposites of those. And the truth of the matter is that these people do believe that not only they need to destroy or end, not to say kill, because I don't like to use that word on spaces, but to end women, men, their children, and then their domestic animals, and they end always with saying, and erase their memory.
@thelevantinemanThis is what they're trying to do for at least the last 300 years, is to erase our memory. And that is why it's very important to hear the whole story about the people of the Levant, because for them, the Talmudic state, they want to tell you that, ah, there was nothing, we were here. And then, you know, it's all self, so self, the story of history of the area is so self-centered about them.
@thelevantinemanAnd just, we were here, and then the Romans destroyed our temple, and when we left, and now we're coming back to take it. And the rest of it, it doesn't matter. Like, there's nothing to see here. It's just us and our story, right? And especially, you know, the last hundred years. It's like... It's just the Middle East, it's just the Arabs, you know, the brown people, whatever you want to call it, like they just, everything is so surfaced and it's all only focused on them.
@joann_marieAnd just really quick, even before the Nakba, they started doing that to Palestine. They started removing all the names from the maps. And that's what they are doing right now in southern Lebanon as well. If you go on Google, the southern of Lebanon, I don't know if it's Google Maps or Apple Maps. I will look into it right now.
@joann_marieBut... There was a lot of villages there and a lot of little towns and stuff and they literally just removed them because Israel just flattened everything in the south and they are just going to say like, oh no, there was nothing here when no, there has always been thousands of year old... Thank you so much for doing it, Fred.
@joann_marie100% JoAnn, and thank you for bringing up Palestine, because again, that whole shore from
@thelevantinemanFrom Mesopotamia until Gaza. This is what the guy is talking about. Now, in the talk, he's focused on Lebanon, mainly, you know, the city-states of Sur, Tyre, Sidon, Byblos. But the people he's talking about extend to Gaza.
@joann_marieI posted it in the purple, in the jumbotron so that you guys see it. Like they literally, like if you see the map, there's nothing there. And it happened because Israel is bombing it. And just... and that's what they always do they're like oh a land for a people for a people without a land on whatever the fuck dude there's always been bad like they have spent the last 80 years killing the people from there like and they are just like oh no there was not like who are you killing then if there if there was nothing there like you know so these people are literally just insane and and they are trying to do that to Lebanon as well so we need to stop them before they do and also guys I forgot in the beginning and guys please repost this space and if you guys go to it I will also repost that
@thelevantinemanand follow Ian and Raed and everybody on the panel and also bookmark it it helps so much with the algorithm and excellent excellent space thank you so much this is one of my favorite topics right so thank you thank you so much Joann and yes this is what they're obsessed they want to steal the history so what they did uh last year imagine they they're bombing southern Lebanon right
@thelevantinemanAnd there was the resistance resisting. They got into a place where Simon, like the apostle, like Shamaun, we call him, where he's buried, right? And they brought this archaeologist from Israel. And while the bombing is going on, because they want to mark these things, they want to say this is a Jewish man was buried here.
@thelevantinemanThis is Jewish. They want to steal.
@thelevantinemanThey want to claim all that heritage as their own, and this is what they want to do. And they hope, maybe now they've been on this project, let's say, hands-on 100 years, let's say, more or less. They think that in another 100 years, that's it. Everyone will learn the truth the way they claim the truth is to be, right?
@thelevantinemanAnd this is what we're fighting against. And this is why we bring the truth, because... Once the truth is out, you know, we're making their job way, way harder and even at least impossible for now.
@joann_marieI mean, so... And, Raed, what you were saying, that they are, like, poisoning the food. They are literally putting white phosphorus in Lebanon so that the crops die. Like, they are literally poisoning the land and that's what these people do. They try to... Thank you. These people do not love the land. And everybody in Lebanon is a farmer.
@joann_marieThey love farming and taking care of their stuff. And that's what they're doing. I'll post that as well.
@thelevantinemanAnd they have surroundings now. So they're flattening the villages and towns of... The community that is resisting them, meaning the Shia community of Lebanon that is also extremely ancient, right? But there are Christian towns. There are three Christian towns there that they have surrounded. And these people are surrounded and they tell the Christians like, oh, we don't have a problem with you.
@thelevantinemanBut once they're there, you can tell the treatment and what they do. And especially the videos are out of when When they destroyed a statue of Jesus Christ, they just tore it down, brought it and started hitting it with a hammer. They destroyed another statue of St. George. They hate Christianity and that is why also it is very important that we remain steadfast against them.
@thelevantinemanYeah, let's do some hands, JoAnn, but I would like to start with hearing what Lebanon John has to say, and then we can go with the rest of the hands. Go ahead, my friend.
@lebanon_johnYeah, first of all, I want to really compliment you on the quality of that video. I'm somewhat of a nerd expert on this subject, and I was actually learning things that I had never heard before, which is very rare and impressive. So I do want to say there's something you guys might find interesting if we're going to do this deep dive.
@lebanon_johnI've actually spoken to IDF soldiers and I've learned what their rabbis are teaching them to justify in a rabbinical sense how to accept extermination of Lebanese citizens. And so what they tell them is that we are fulfilling the command in the Inevitable China
@lebanon_johnAnd so the Canaanites that God commanded the Hebrews to exterminate in the Old Testament are not the Lebanese people. The Canaanite, when it's using that term in that part of the Bible, it's talking about a bloodline. So there's a Canaanite bloodline, and then there's people who just live in the region called Canaan, who then, because they live in the region called Canaan, they're called Canaanites.
@lebanon_johnThe Lebanese people are genetically Semitic. The Canaanite bloodline is Hemetic. And so the Orthodox Church has a book in the Bible. It was removed by the other denominations. Maybe Catholics still have it, but it's not in the Protestant Old Testament. Because when Martin Luther made the Protestant Old Testament canon, he asked rabbis what should be in it.
@lebanon_johnSo the Protestant list of books. of the Old Testament is curated and defined by Jewish rabbis in the European, whatever, 1400s. So they took this book out. But if you go look in the book of Jubilees, after Noah's flood, and in that video you were showing us, it was explaining how all the origin of pretty much all these people could be basically traced to like the highlands of Armenia.
@lebanon_johnWell, why is that? Because that's where Noah's boat landed. So everybody comes from there. So Noah has the three sons, Shem, forefather of all the Semitic people, Japheth, forefather of what they call Indo-European people, that's Japheth, and then Ham, forefather of basically all the Africans, including Egyptians and all that.
@lebanon_johnSo Ham has a son, Canaan, and Canaan, as he's going to the land he's designated to colonize and repopulate, He sees Lebanon, and Canaan takes Lebanon out of jealousy, with sedition, and he's not supposed to. Lebanon is designated to go for the Semitic people. This is all in the Book of Jubilees. And so everyone warns Canaan not to do it, that eventually his descendants are going to be uprooted by sedition because he took it by sedition, and that it's not going to last and you can't just violate the designated territories.
@lebanon_johnAnd so it takes a long time, but eventually, after, I guess, you know, let my people go and the Hebrews are delivered in the exodus out of Pharaoh's slavery, they then travel north to the so-called Promised Land and they basically exterminate, under God's command, these Canaanites and displace them, remove them, erase their civilization.
@lebanon_johnAnd that's the end, basically, of the Canaanite bloodline. And so that command by God to undo this theft, It's done. It's over with. It already happened. But the Jews and the Talmudics, what they want to do is they want to tell their soldiers, the rabbis today in our day and age, the rabbis tell these Ashkenazi gypsies that Lebanese people are canonized by blood, not Semitic.
@lebanon_johnThat is a lie. Lebanese people are Semitic by blood, and they're not in the Canaanite bloodline. The only reason why we're calling Lebanese people Canaanites is because The region was called Canaan because of this legend, because of what happened way back that this guy and his descendants stole it. And so since then, the region's kind of always been called that.
@lebanon_johnAnd so they play these word games. And so they are doing archaeology in an ancient Phoenician city that falls in current-day occupied Palestine, in current-day Israel. And so again, yes, we are still talking about Palestine because the northern half of Palestine is basically southern Phoenicia. And the bottom half of Palestine, the southern half of Palestine, is basically the Negev Desert.
@lebanon_johnSo the region, kind of the northern part of Palestine, basically is pretty much just like Lebanon. The bottom half of Palestine is a desert. It goes into, you know, Jordan and the Sinai and the desert all the way to Saudi Arabia. But basically, yeah, the northern half of Palestine, it's basically the same as Lebanon. They artificially, with Sykes-Picot, drew these lines in the sand.
@lebanon_johnAnd that's after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. But in the Ottoman Empire, of course, there were no lines, there were no borders. You could travel from Palestine to Lebanon, to Iraq, to Syria, to Jordan. It was all, you know, there were no borders. It was within one administration with one government. But back to what I'm saying.
@lebanon_johnSo I've spoken to IDF soldiers. I know this for a fact. This is how they rabbinically justify and motivate their people to exterminate Lebanese people is they call them Canaanites. And they don't mean the people who live in the region of Canaan. They mean the bloodline of Canaan. And so that's a hermetic bloodline. Lebanese people are not that bloodline.
@lebanon_johnSo anyway, they're doing archaeology on this Phoenician city right now. And what they do is they dig up this Phoenician body in... Modern-day Occupied Palestine in Modern-day Israel
@lebanon_johnand label that dead body as Canaanite by blood, which then defines all Lebanese people as equal to Canaanite by blood and therefore worthy of extermination. And so using these terms is very dangerous. And we have to be aware of what they're teaching their soldiers. And they have things planned for all of us, including a lot of bad things.
@lebanon_johnSo anyway, I could go on and on. As I said, I'm like a huge nerd on this subject. I don't want to bore you guys, but I just wanted to give that little bit of information. I know it's kind of detailed, but I appreciate you guys letting me talk.
@thelevantinemanThanks, Levin and John. No, thanks for that. And yeah, 100%, this is how they plan. They plan for 100 years, and they proceed with their plans, their evil plans, their Talmudic plans. Let me check in with Victory. Because she's also Lebanese, but she lives in the West. And I think, go ahead, Victory, tell us if you have comments about what you've heard.
@thelevantinemanGo ahead.
@victorybardI am just going to say, very rarely do people impress me with knowledge. You have impressed me, Lebanon, John. I am shocked because you just said everything I've been thinking for a long time now. Thank you so much for that.
@victorybardThe Talmudists are actually the Canaanites. That entity over there, scripturally speaking, is actually Babylon. The Bible calls them Babylon. And people who only follow the Old Testament won't know that. But if you know how to tie the old and the new, you know that that entity, the occupying entity, is Babylon. And so it says in the very final chapters of the book of Revelation,
@victorybardThere shall no longer be a Canaanite in all the land. So, obviously, it's not applying to the Lebanese people because they're obviously not going to kill all the Lebanese people, which is obviously what they would love to do. Like Jonathan Pollard, I mean, I have videos showing him saying he wants to basically annihilate all of Lebanese people and steal the land.
@victorybardAnd this is what they do teach. So... What does it mean in the book of Revelation when it says there shall no longer be a Canaanite in all the land?
@thelevantinemanSorry, I just want to interrupt you just to make sure that we don't go into theology, Old Testament, like any Christian theology. We can go to that later, but I just want to know from you when it comes to societal change, who are the Lebanese? Who was from Lebanon that is mentioned in the New Testament? Stuff like that linked, if you will, more to the population of the Levant with regards to Christianity and less, you know, theology, if you get what I'm trying to say.
@victorybardIn the book of Acts, I think it's Acts chapter 10 or 11, something like that, you know, God instructs Paul to go to Phoenicia. And to Antioch, which is now called Antakya because the Turks have it now. But at the time it was part of Phoenicia. And he said to preach only to the Jews. And it was there in Phoenicia, in Antakya, in Antioch, that they first became called Christians.
@victorybardSo the very first Christians on the planet were the Antiochian Christians. And so we exist. To this day, and we are actually called Antiochian Christians to this day.
@thelevantinemanWhat about the other apostles? What about when Jesus did his first miracles, let's say, in Cana in Lebanon? Yes, that's also in Lebanon. Yeah, so there is the narrative of the church, and there is also, if you will, because it's very much focused on Paul, which I have no problem with, but I would like to know from you,
@thelevantinemanregarding like the first people who were around Christ when he was in the Galilee, you know, going around and healing the sick and then eventually did a few miracles. And the people who took on that message early on and then they got persecuted and their churches remained. There is a cave in Kona. That was a church because they had to go underground after Jesus was put on the cross, right?
@victorybardRight. And there's also a cave where the Theotokos, the mother of God, she would stay in this cave when Jesus would go into Lebanon and do his preachings. And to this day, this cave is a relic. Even Muslims, they'll go on pilgrimage to this cave over there, and they've been going there for prayers to protect them from the Bolsheviks attacking Lebanon.
@victorybardYou mean the Talmudic tribes? Yeah, I call them the Bolsheviks because that's what they are. They're a bunch of imposters.
@thelevantinemanJust for the listeners so we don't confuse them.
@victorybardYeah, the Bolsheviks were the Talmudists. You know, they're the ones that killed up to 60 to 80 million Christians.
@joeyggggggggggBut Zionists are Jewish, too. They're not Bolshevik. So you got to make the distinction and say all Jews.
@victorybardWell, most of these people that came over in the early parts of that entity were from Russia, from the Russian Empire. Or shall I say, at that time, it was part of the USSR. And so, yeah, I call them the Bolsheviks because that's what they are. They're not Semitic.
@joeyggggggggggWhatever they are, I was just about to say they're not Levantine like us. No, they're not.
@victorybardAnd they have no genealogy. None of them do DNA tests. And if they did, there's plenty of DNA that can go back thousands of years in your ancestry. And they would show that they don't have it. It's not in them. Occasionally, you might have a few that might have migrated over there. Thank you. Thank you.
@thelevantinemanThanks, Victory, and hang on with us on the panel. I would like to ask you a few more questions regarding the early Christians, because I want to draw the line, and it's very important to draw the lines between the early followers of the message of Christ before Christianity became a religion, an official, what we call today, a religion.
@thelevantinemanYou know, just as a reasonable way to look at things from, let's say, a secular perspective or an academic perspective. You know, Jesus was put on the cross and then by that time, by then, he had... And then how that eventually, you know, that message that was what Christ spoke of before the establishment of, let's say, the first 100 years AD, you know, after, let's say, the first 70 years until 100 AD, and then eventually 300 AD was when Constantinople, you know, took on Christianity.
@thelevantinemanSo, yeah. Because it is very important for me or for the truth, right, to link these people that existed on the land of La Levantine, took on the message early on after, you know, Christ was put on the cross. All right, cool. JoAnn, I'm going to leave it to you to run the hands. I'm terrible at it. You're the best at it.
@thelevantinemanIf you don't mind, there's a few hands if you don't mind going through them.
Ian MalcolmYeah, sure. And excellent space. Thank you so much, Mike. Bryce, welcome. Go for it.
@brycemlipscombThank you so much. Sorry about that, JoAnn. Thank you so much. That was such a fascinating video. You know, as much as I know about Lebanon comes from the relationship that Lebanon had with Franciscoist Spain. and the Catholic in the Vatican. And the reason why they had such a close relationship was because for Catholics, especially in Spain and Italy, Lebanon is a holy place.
@brycemlipscombSome of the most holy areas of our religion is in Lebanon. So I just want to thank you for teaching me things that I didn't know. And it's always such a blessing to learn something new. And I thank you for that.
@thelevantinemanNo, thank you, Bryce. There is not the second half of that video that will continue. But thanks. Thanks for that. And I'm happy to hear. Thanks.
@joann_marieThere is so many miracles that happened in Lebanon that are on the Bible. Thank you so much, Bryce.
Ian MalcolmAll right. Dr. Atusa, welcome.
Ian MalcolmIs she talking?
@thelevantinemanNo, Dr. Mahdawi.
Ian MalcolmCan you hear us? Dr. Atusa?
@joann_marieI'm going to recycle you, okay?
Speaker 1Yeah, I think so.
@joann_marieAll right.
@joann_marieSora, go for it. Welcome.
@georgepaul888Good evening, my friends. Thank you. Thank you, Ian, for the space. JoAnn, always great, dear. Habibi, Raed, always a pleasure, brother. Thank you. Heidi, Mandy, dear, and Lebanon. Brother, I changed my name and wrote it in Armenian, but I'm Harrison Smith's friend who always called into the show. Oh, yeah, awesome. Yeah, I know, man.
@georgepaul888I'm such an asshole. I kept my name in Armenian because no one could pronounce it. But what an appropriate title, appropriate conversation here with today being the date of the 35th anniversary of Armenian independence in 1991.
@georgepaul888The Lebanese people have been to my people. And Victor, you said something important that the Antiochians were the first Christians. Not to be confused by the first state religion adoption by Armenia. That's the distinction there. The first state religion in history to adopt Christianity is Armenia. That's why, you know, so-called claim to fame, if you want to say it.
@georgepaul888But if we were to track back the history of Armenia where...
@joeyggggggggggIt was 10 years before Rome, 303, right? 301 A.D. Durtad accepted Christianity because he became very sick. He had imprisoned St. Gregory underneath Horvira Monastery for 13 years. Then Durtad got very sick. He was the king of Armenia. He almost died. His sister went to the chamber underneath the ground where they were keeping Gregory, and she told him, I believe something is holy about you.
@joeyggggggggggIf you pray for my brother, he's going to stay alive. He prayed for Durtat. Durtat lived, and Durtat released Gregory, and then Gregory migrated towards Italy, where he evangelized the Romans.
@joeyggggggggggSo actually, Armenia came many years before Rome became the first state. And by the way, Aper, I'm married to an Armenian, so that's why I know so much. I've been there.
@georgepaul888Brother, I love it. I have a running joke that I'm looking for a Greek single mom as my next wife, but I'm open to any Christian woman, but that's just my joke. I love it, brother. Thank you. That's amazing. You said it so well. True. That is very true. Grigor Lusavorich, as we call him, he stayed in that pit without food or water for a long time, and that was another miracle how he survived.
@georgepaul888And how Armenia is so important, or I should say how the Lebanese people are so important to Armenia, my friends. You might have heard about the 1915 genocide committed by the Ottoman Turks. Even before that, in the 11th and 12th century, Armenia was always, like almost always, being persecuted, ransacked by Turkic
@georgepaul888The one way Armenia decided to keep its identity and not lose its country, it actually migrated to a place called Cilicia. Cilicia, you might know as a part of Lebanon. It's on the coast of the sea. There, in that 11th and 12th century, Armenia had a kingdom called the Kingdom of Cilicia, which to this day... There is the Holy See of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church that still presides in the West.
@georgepaul888And it is in Syria, it is in Lebanon. The Lebanese Syrian people, mainly Lebanese in this context, they've been nothing but welcoming, helpful brothers and sisters to Armenians during any type of persecution. And you can see this in the diaspora. You heard Joey right there, married to an Armenian woman. Half the words I speak are Arabic, apart from Russian.
@georgepaul888And it's just so embedded in the culture. We're more than grateful as a people because they protected and helped us through everything. And it's just sad what we're going through today. Just a few years ago, even Artsakh, one of our ancient lands, JoAnn, they changed the names of the cities on the map, dear. So it's been going on forever to many good people, unfortunately.
@georgepaul888But what the amazing hope is, is how much we help each other. And the Armenian and Lebanese people are good examples of that. So thank you for letting me share, my friends.
@joann_marieThank you so much for coming on, Sarah. All right. Evermont, welcome. Go for it.
@evermontking84Hey, thank you guys. I really appreciate it. And this is a really important topic. And we can use everything that is happening to Lebanon as a strength, not just a weakness. And they're being so brave and everything they're doing over there, they're fighting on behalf of us all. I feel like Iran is fighting on behalf of us all.
@evermontking84So what I like to do is I actually go to church and I can't find a church that's like... A non-Zionist church in my area, so I just go to the ones that are Zionist, and I talk to the pastors, and I tell them, I say, Hey, you know, Lebanon is a Christian country. Well, they got a Christian president. They're like 30% Christian.
@evermontking84All of these Christian holy sites are getting destroyed. What do you think about that? And they're always trying to make excuses for Israel, and that really bothers me. And so I'm always looking and I always preach to the pastors and then I sit up in the front seat and I'm listening to them, mean-mugging them the whole time because I don't think we should run from it or shy away from it.
@evermontking84And in fact, I think we should make them stand on it and preach their belief on it in front of everybody because if you preach that you like genocide or that it's okay to blow up Christians, and you guys have to understand that Christianity is the basis from which all of this happens. It's the foundation of Zionism right now.
@evermontking84They've flipped everything. They've turned our own religion against us. I even called a church just yesterday, and I talked to a pastor, and I told him about Lebanon, and I said, I'm looking for a church to go to, and he said that he stands with Israel, and he said the only problem with them is that They don't finish off everybody.
@evermontking84They always leave somebody behind and he thought that they should finish off everybody. So I decided that I would make my content more about what I'm going to do now because he did that was he gave me a wonderful idea, which was to call around pastors, record them saying these sort of things, and then make content out of it and share it on TikTok, share it in all the local places where we know their people will see it.
@evermontking84And then they get to know who their pastor is because I don't think people who go to church really understand who their pastor is. And so my whole mission of my whole entire life, I don't even work anymore. I make money. I have businesses and whatnot. And this is all I do with my time every single day is try to figure out what I can do to move the needle.
@evermontking84And the reality is that the Christian church is the base We need to make them preach about it publicly and then we can then separate Zionism from Christianity because it has no basis.
@evermontking84And we can help out Lebanon and we can use their struggle and their bravery and their courageousness to our benefit and we can really make a change. And that's what my whole life, my content, everything I do, that's what it's about. So I love listening to you guys because you guys are telling me things that I can use when I'm arguing with these pastors.
@evermontking84Well, it's not even hard to argue with them because they have no leg to stand on. You know what I mean? But I love the education that I'm hearing right now. Thank you so much, everybody who's teaching me all this stuff, because you're just giving me ammunition. Every fact you give me, I'm putting it in the clip, and I'm going to deliver it to them.
@evermontking84And I'm going to expose all these fake pastors. I'm going to make people aware of what their church is actually being led by. It's a wolf. It's not a sheepdog. Thank you so much for coming up, everyone. This is a collective effort, so everything that everybody is doing counts so much. Thank you so much for dedicating your life and your time to do this.
@joann_marieDr. Atusa, welcome back.
@yourvitalitydocHi, hi everyone. Can you hear me now? Yeah. Oh, awesome. Hi, Joann. Thank you for giving me the mic. Hi, Raed, for creating this space, meaning with us. And yeah, and the topic, I love it. Yeah, and you know, it's so important to educate the public about the historical facts of that region and also the close connection or actually the origin of Christianity in that region.
@yourvitalitydocNow, with that said, I wanted to say something short about Aramaic. And as you mentioned, as Raed mentioned, obviously, we all know that the language of Jesus was Aramaic. And I'm not sure, I mean, I heard the video that you played and it was really in-depth. But as it was mentioned, Aramaic goes back to the eras of 12th century B.C.
@yourvitalitydocLong before the Canaanites moved into that region, and they had their own language, and it was a Canaanite language and Hebrew. And that language went in that Levant region, like Raed was saying, and after the Persians conquered, the Syria fell, the Syrian Empire fell, and the Persian Empire conquered Babylon, they actually adopted Aramaic as the administrative trade language because there already existed the Syrian systems of trade and administration which was spoken in Aramaic because that was the language of the great Syria at that time, which included all the Levant.
@yourvitalitydocSo the Persians adopted that language and believe it or not, And then that was the spoken administrative language for a long time. And then Persian language was, you know, the imperial palaces. They spoke it in obviously cities like within the Persian empire. Now, believe it or not, there exists still a region in Iran, in the west and northwest part of Iran,
@yourvitalitydocMany people still speak Aramaic. I actually know someone that speaks that language still. She speaks Aramaic, Farsi, which is Persian, and obviously English. So yeah, I just wanted to mention that because if Jesus spoke Aramaic and the Canaanite didn't speak Aramaic, this is like a math equation, right? A equals B, A plus B equals C, etc.
@yourvitalitydocThen Jesus wasn't a Canaanite, so to speak. And he wasn't from that tribe, if you know what I mean, the Talmudic satanic worshippers. I land there. Thank you very much.
@joann_marieBeautiful. Thank you so much, Dr. Atusa. I loved everything you said. All right, Benjamin, welcome.
@unisocialnetThank you. Excellent space. I missed some at the beginning from crashes, but I will re-listen. So when you look at the entire history of the region, the Eastern Mediterranean, and you go back further and further in time, it's very clear that a lot of the records are missing. Beyond about 3,000 or 3,200 years ago, we don't really have a lot of intact records, but we do have
@unisocialnetA lot of remains. There's been a lot of discoveries, archaeological digs and such. And it's interesting, some of the stonework and some of the palaces and the temples that were built, they have these unfinished stones that were excavated from the ground, like the great stones of Baalbek, Lebanon. And they are massive. They're like 1,200 tons, millions upon millions of pounds.
@unisocialnetAnd then you go to Egypt, just south of there, you have... The unfinished obelisk, which was supposed to have been the largest one that they were ever going to erect. It was probably up to 100 meters. And it was never fully taken from the ground. But one thing about ancient Judea and all that is their culture is actually pretty new, historically speaking.
@unisocialnetSo the Phoenician alphabet, Every language family traces back to some original origin. So like we had the cuneiform script that was in early writing system. Then we had alphabetic languages. A lot of Egyptologists, I would say some of the more renegade ones, they actually believe that the Phoenician 22-character alphabet was the actual lingua franca or the daily language of ancient Egypt.
@unisocialnetAnd what we see in the hieroglyphics in all of the tombs, that was more like a calligraphy. Like today, we understand Arabic scripts is really a calligraphy language. But what I was getting at is that the Israelis, they tried to steal all of it and to hide your history. They're trying to erase your history. And every time that you think about the concept they have of eradicating the Amalek
@unisocialnetInevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@unisocialnetMichael Rectenwald Ph.D., Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@unisocialnetAshkenazim
@thelevantinemanAnd Dr. Mahdawi. That's a good addition. And yes, Aramaic still exists in various parts of the Fertile Crescent. And that is beautiful. At the end of the day, I believe, you know, it's not about tribalism. And especially when it comes to Christianity and Christ. Christ is for everyone. I mean, came for all of humanity.
@thelevantinemanBut again, it's... It's the Talmudic tribe who wants to erase us, erase our presence in the land, right? And that is what we try to push against and bring the truth about. I'm going to just read a quick thing and then we'll play another part of that video. Then we can, if you guys don't mind. And Professor Rectenwald, it's good to see you.
@thelevantinemanI would also love to hear what you think about all of that. But let me just, so there is a guy that is a family friend. He lives in the U.S. His name is Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb. and he has an article on a place called Medium but he says something other than he discusses the East and West and how in political terms how we see the world where the West ends and where the East starts and how it is just painted so simple by the Zionists you know it's just the Middle East, the Arabs, the Muslims and then they raise the whole Levantine history but something he says here
@thelevantinemanIn his article, The Most Stable Region of the World, he's talking about the Levant, and he says, Another counterintuitive fact, the Levant today appears to be an unstable part of the world, filled with warfare and intractable conflicts. This may lead people to overlook the fact that between 1860 and 1948,
@thelevantinemanor more generally 1967 and then Lebanon in 1975, the Levant was the most stable part of the world. It attracted a large number of what the French called Levantins, French and Italian merchant families in search of stability who settled in the Ottoman Empire, some of whom moved further south after its dissolution. There were bankers, doctors, dentists, piano teachers, and even French grammar specialists among these fortune seekers.
@thelevantinemanAdditionally, the Levant was the main destination for Anatolian Armenians following their massacre in 1915, which we mentioned earlier, the Armenian friend. Then, remember, during that period, Europe was consumed with warfare. from the Franco-Prussian Wars to the Second World War, which completely spared the Levant. The area benefited from not being on the radar of the United States State Department, an institution that wrecks havoc when trying to improve, quote unquote, usually unsolicited, yet remains unaware of its track record.
@thelevantinemanIt is my hope that we will revert to that situation at some point in the century. Something very important through that article. And this guy, he's a proper academic, very well known. After Gibran Khalil Gibran in America, his name is so known. But he also talks about something very important that I want to point out too.
@thelevantinemanHe says, another fact that may irritate the West versus East quote-unquote crowd, Levant was the larger contributor to Western civilization directly. That is the Greco-Roman corpus during the Hellenistic era. That is the 10 centuries extending from the arrival of Alexander in the fourth... Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@thelevantinemanetc and then he mentions something important there was even hold on where okay so ironically he says the race monger Charles Murray wrote a book proclaiming the superiority of western civilization by listing its contributions not realizing that most ancient names were Levantines So below is a short list of Greek language Levantine authors and thinkers.
@thelevantinemanFirst, six Levantine scholars that is, or scholarchs, that is heads of the Plato's Academy. One, Diogenes of Phoenicia, Hermias of Phoenicia, Cyrannus, Marienus, of Naples, Isodoros of Gaza, Isodoros of Gaza, guys, and Lambilicus of Apamea. Apamea would be in Syria today, like modern Syria. Next, the scholars, Lucian of Samasata, that's also, I think, in Syria, and then he mentions so many of them, but I'm not going to read all the names, but also, importantly,
@thelevantinemanBecause I don't believe in this West, East, whatever humanity. This is a heritage for all of us. Finally, we count the theologian Eusebius, John Christentum, John of Damascus, Ananias of Damascus, Alcibiades of Apamea, which also is modern Syria, Alexander of Apamea. Not counting a certain number of Catholic popes. So let's go back quickly to the video and listen some more and then we will go back to some hands and back in force.
@thelevantinemanAlright. ...reports Jesus traveling to both Sidon and Tyre and identified the people there as Canaanites. The rest of the Canaanite cities surrendered. It marked the end of the Phoenician political independence and the beginning of the end for the Canaanite identity. Greek and Aramaic became the language of state and trade, and the Phoenician language went into steep decline.
@thelevantinemanThe population became heavily Hellenized, a process that continued after the conquest by the Romans and its reorganization as part of the Roman province of Syria in 64 BC. Many of their unique religious customs and cultural elements continued, but the language likely died out around the 1st century AD. The same process was afflicting the Jews to the south.
@thelevantinemanHebrew, closely related to Phoenician, was in steep decline. Relegated to the status of a liturgical and scholarly language. While Aramaic and Greek was a typical language of communication, trade, and state affairs, Aramaic was also the language of Jesus. The Bible records Jesus traveling to both Sidon and Tyre and identified the people there as Canaanites.
@thelevantinemanAfter the Roman conquest, several phases of political reorganization of the region took place. From 64 BC, it was administered as part of the province of Syria. But in AD 194, Septimius Severus established the province of Phoenice. This would last until the 630s. The city of Beirut, known by the Romans as Beirutus, had previously been a small town, possibly existing since the Bronze Age.
@thelevantinemanBut under Roman patronage, it became an important center, home to a law school and the site of a Roman colony. Baalbek, still famous today for its wondrous surviving temple structures, received massive support from the Roman administration. who helped to build the largest temple to Jupiter, known locally as Baal, that existed anywhere in the Roman Empire.
@thelevantinemanMany such massive projects were occurring across Lebanon under Roman rule, and out of Lebanon came some truly notable people, such as Papinian, born in either Tyre or Sidon, regarded as one of the great Roman jurists, who served as the chief legal advisor to Emperor Septimius Severus, the writer and historian Philo of Byblos,
@thelevantinemanMuch of whose work is lost but is extensively quoted by later Roman writers on matters about Phoenician history and religion. Porphyry, born in Tyre in 234, was one of the most eminent Neoplatonic philosophers in the world, and his work is still studied in philosophy programs today. Marinus of Tyre, born around AD 70, was a pioneering cartographer, first to assign locations to a specific latitude and longitude.
@thelevantinemanHe made a prediction of the circumference of the earth that was only 17% off its actual size. Lebanon also became one of the early centers of Christianity in the centuries following the death of Jesus. St. Paul is recorded as having visited Tyre and Sidon. But it wasn't until the Roman banning of paganism and the direct state support for Christianity that the religion gained dominance in the region.
@thelevantinemanNot long after, Marian, a Christian hermit, would gain a large following in Lebanon and Syria. Now here he says Marion, and then he continues always mentioning the Maronites as Marionites. I think, I don't know, it's an AI or whatever. Whenever he says Marionites, it's the Maronites. That's very important also because they come from Saint Maroon.
@thelevantinemanSo the Maronites, all right. To lead to the establishment of the Marionite Church, the major Christian denomination in Lebanon. This Christian community was forgotten by Western Christians until the Crusaders conquered the territory, after which they re-established connection with the Catholic Church. They lived in the region under Islamic rule, maintaining a dominant presence in the northern mountains, and are one of the largest religious groups in Lebanon today.
@thelevantinemanBy the 7th century, constant wars between the Byzantines and the Sassanids would leave both powers highly weakened. The Sassanids made a determined push to capture the Levant. likely wishing to gain control of the lucrative shipping and trading options of the Mediterranean. They achieved their desire in 619, but they would not hold it for long.
@thelevantinemanBy 635, Lebanon, along with the entire region, was conquered by the Arabs, beginning a new chapter in history. The first 300 years following the conquest saw a marked decline in trade, which hurt the heavily trade-reliant economy of the coastal cities. It wasn't until the rise of the Fatimid Caliphate that prosperity began to return
@thelevantinemanand trade links with the West were re-established. Though Muslim Caliphs directly ruled over the cities like Beirut, Tyre and Sidon, Tripoli and Byblos, and the Islamic religion spread and gained dominance under their patronage there. In the mountainous countryside, other religious sects like the Maronites were largely left alone to administer their own affairs.
@thelevantinemanThe language spoken was also slow to change, with the Christian communities especially continuing to use Syriac, a descendant of ancient Aramaic, into the modern period. The Syriac Orthodox Church uses a local West Syriac dialect for their liturgy while the Maronites use classical Syriac. But as far as I am aware, the language has died out in Lebanon as a community language.
@thelevantinemanIn the 11th century, the mountains would likewise serve as a refuge and power base of the Druze, a new religion that emerged from Islam and would become a major force in Lebanese history. In response to the invasion of the region by the Seljuk Turks, Pope Urban II told on Christians to reclaim the Holy Land and gave sanctuary to the First Crusade.
@thelevantinemanThey managed to capture Antioch and Jerusalem, but soon realized the military importance and likely the lucrative prospect of capturing the wealthy trading cities of the coast. By 1104, they took the Lebanese city of Byblos with the assistance of the Genoese Navy. And in 1109, they expanded their control of the region by bringing Tripoli under their control.
@thelevantinemanBeirut and Sidon fell the following year. and were integrated into the Kingdom of Jerusalem. But Tyre, well fortified and refusing to give in, held out against King Baldwin II until 1124, when a Venetian fleet helped blockade the city, lured by the promise that they would be given trading privileges. After the city capitulated, the Venetians were given control of a third of the city and its revenues.
@thelevantinemanThe Maronite Christians of Lebanon supported the Crusaders, seeing them as fellow Christians. It was during this period that they entered into full communion with the Catholic Church. However, not all Christians in Lebanon followed their lead. Others still looked to the Byzantine Church of Constantinople. These would become the Greek Orthodox Church, which is the second largest Christian denomination in Lebanon today.
@thelevantinemanThey gained posts in the Crusader States, and some also traveled to Europe to teach languages like Syriac and Aramaic to the clergy and scholars. Lebanese cities would become some of the last holdings of the failing Crusader States in the late 13th century. The Mamluks took Tripoli in 1289. and Beirut, Tyre and Sidon in 1291.
@thelevantinemanThey systematically dismantled the Crusader fortifications to prevent their return. But the sudden loss of trading connections with the West was economically devastating for the cities, which would take hundreds of years to recover. Something very important also to note about the Crusades is something that hardly anyone talks about.
@thelevantinemanThat is the The negative impact of the Crusades towards the local Christians of the Levant, because even though they were Christians, and there was a lot of them, they were seen as the other, the local people, the enemy, right? And there was a lot of damage done there. I'm going to link that video and whatever I've shared about in the purple pill just after I'm done.
@thelevantinemanBut according to Guionet, when the first crusades happened, the deal with Constantinople was that The Crusades Go Around the City on Their Way to Jerusalem. And this guy is an academic like proper. He's not, you know, Laurent Guionet is his name. I think we had a talk with him. I can't remember, JoAnn, did we? Anyway, he has a lot of writings.
@thelevantinemanOne of them is about the Ashkenazis and the The book is called Something to Zion. I will check and then come back with the full name. But he describes that, you know, wave after wave of crusades. And then there was a large political element to that movement. It wasn't just about Christianity and the Levant. Because they promised the people who would join on the Crusades, the Pope in the West promised them, you know, they'll be like, if you're a criminal, whatever you've done, if you go on these Crusades, well, then God will grant you, you know, whatever you call it, like will erase all your sins.
@thelevantinemanSo there was a lot of criminals that joined on these. And eventually they started going through Constantinople. And we're talking about a couple of hundred years of these, you know, crusaders. And according to Laurent Guionet, this back and forth within Constantinople, and back then you're talking about the center of everything that is beautiful.
@thelevantinemanConstantinople, and the Byzantine Empire that doesn't get enough credit in the West. I mean, if you're studying the history, you'll find a couple of paragraphs. People like to focus on the Western Church. Again, politics and the human condition, right? So anyway, on these back and forth, there was a lot of pillaging and theft and the security that was...
@thelevantinemanInevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@thelevantinemanThat weakened Constantinople a lot. Many of the traders, the big money, the capital started fleeing towards Venice because it wasn't that secure anymore. And he thinks or he states that this helped into eventually the Ottomans taking Constantinople. So, yeah, I just wanted to bring that layer of the Crusades. and the impact they had on the Levant in general.
@thelevantinemanSo let's go. The following man was horrible.
@victorybardYeah, I wanted to say that that was from the Fourth Crusade. I believe it was in the year 1204 up until 1261, something like that. And the Fourth Crusade was not sanctioned by the Vatican. They kind of went rogue. And they're the ones that took Hagia Sophia from the Byzantines. The Eastern Orthodox
@victorybardConquered, Hagia Sophia, Mehmet, I guess Mehmet the Great.
@thelevantinemanNo, the rift between the churches before the... Well, that was... That was 1100.
@victorybardYeah, that was 1054. But it was the social communication with each other. But in 1204, that's when the Catholics, but it was not sanctioned by the Vatican. They had a crusader team. They're the ones that captured Hagia Sophia. But the first three crusades, now this is something that hardly anybody on the planet knows. There are many, many, many people living in the Levant today, both Christian and Muslim, that actually have crusader bloodlines.
@thelevantinemanI'm talking about the first three. I don't agree.
@thelevantinemanAnd I know you follow organized religion, you are Christian, and then you see the things the way the church sees them. I disagree. I think the impacts were very negative. The amount of original Christians of the Levant that got killed. Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@thelevantinemanEconomically
@thelevantinemanThe Mamluks focused on inland centers like Damascus and neglected maritime trade, possibly even seeing it as a threat. This lack of economic development likely worked to the Ottomans' advantage when they defeated the Mamluks and gained control over the region in 1516. Under the Ottomans, the cities of Tyre, Byblos, Sidon, Tripoli, and Beirut were directly administered by Ottoman officials.
@thelevantinemanBut much of the interior of the country would be made the emirate of Mount Lebanon. It had semi-autonomous status. With local emirs and tax farmers running affairs. While the coastal cities were largely dominated by Sunni Muslims, much of the countryside was dominated by Christians and Druze. This allowed for the empowering and development of a local elite, but it also meant that different factions within the region would begin to struggle for power.
@thelevantinemanThe Druze under the Man dynasty would hold the ruling power between 1516 to 1697. The Shihab Dynasty would then hold power from 16... Well, maybe this is a good time to tell you that my dad is from the Druze and my mom is Greek Orthodox. And that's a blessing. That is why. And also the political party that my granddad and my grandmother and my parents belong to does not see people on ethnic, not ethnic, excuse me, on sectarian lines.
@thelevantinemanAnd... Dr. Shafiq Ahmed, Dr. Shafiq Ahmed, Dr. Shafiq Ahmed,
@thelevantinemanEspecially these days where the existential threat to all of us, Europeans, Americans, Levantines and the rest is the Talmudic tribe. So I don't see any lines except the Talmudic tribe is on one side and the rest of humanity is on the other side. It's very important to bring into that space, and this is what I believe in.
@thelevantinemanAnd that is why we congregate, all of us. And that is why, eventually, you know, a couple of years on this app, and I have someone that I really call a brother from another mother, that is Ian, because this is how we view the world today. There are two sides only, the enemies of God and the people of God, right? All right, let's continue.
@thelevantinemanBut this information is very interesting, especially, again, I would say, because these Zionists would love, the Talmudic tribe just loves to paint everything. It's just the Middle East, the Arabs, you know, just like the barbarians. And it is very important to bring that nuance, especially Lebanon. And you've seen the history, especially the Christian communities in Lebanon that are linked to the earlier
@thelevantinemanThe earliest followers of the message of Christ even before the religion became a religion, right? All right, let's continue and then we'll go back to the discussion. 1997 to 1842, they were Sunni Muslim, though several of their family members converted to Marianite Christianity in the 18th century. For instance, there are many families in Lebanon, like the Shahab family.
@thelevantinemanHalf of the family... The other half is Sunni, Muslim. The other half is Maronite Christians. You know, there are many families that you find. Some of the family and some of the family are Shia now and the rest is Maronite or Druze and the rest is Maronites. That's why, again, I want to insist on the fact that In this so-called, in a positive connotation, not the Talmudic connotation of the melting pot, where they want to, you know, in the West, it's a different connotation.
@thelevantinemanThey want to erase one part of the people and they call it melting pot. No, that melting pot, meaning that part of the world where a lot of, if you will, civilizations came and went. and religions came and went and stayed and all of that. The mix is so there, it's just so ingrained that families, half of like part of the family would be Sunnis and then the other parts would be Maronites like the guy is explaining right now.
@thelevantinemanUnder the Ottomans, the Shia communities of the South are thought to have been persecuted fairly heavily and did not hold significant representation. They belong to the 12... The Shia community, and this is the community that is, if you will, closest to my heart. Why? Because these are the people of the southern Lebanon.
@thelevantinemanThese are the people who created the resistance in 1982. These are the people of the Lebanese resistance or Hezbollah, and the connotation in the West used to be so negative. And thank God, you know, for social media. Thank God for the truth is coming out that these people are the people of the land. The City of Tyre
@thelevantinemanThe Sunnis and the Shia of Lebanon are some of the earliest people there and if they did not have in their faith and in their belief something that is called we would rather die and not submit That is so ingrained with these people and I will be always indebted to this community because they decided to pick up arms and until today with all the odds, with Washington behind Israel and all the power of the Israeli military, they still resist and they have built their houses in the southern Lebanon so many times after Israel destroys them.
@thelevantinemanThey are unyielding. And not only that, what is so beautiful about this community, including the Shia in Iran, in their eschatology, they believe in the final coming back of Jesus Christ, of my Christ, our Christ, the same one. And that is also so beautiful and so poetic at the same time that these people are steadfast defending
@thelevantinemanThe Lebanon from this existential threat that is the Talmudic tribe and its Frankenstate called Israel. All right. ...over Shia communities, thought to be one of the oldest Shia communities, who dwelt and still dwell on either side of the Latani River. While things in Lebanon seem to be progressing relatively peacefully, in fact, tensions were building up between the different religious communities.
@thelevantinemanThis didn't so much manifest as a religious conflict, but as tribal warfare over lands. Throughout the 18th century, The internal power struggles in Lebanon were numerous and of growing intensity. Under the leadership of Bashir Shihab II, a Maronite Christian who reigned from 1789 to 1840, there would be many clashes. Let me see how many minutes there is more, and then decide if we finish the video and then continue the conversation or we cut a little bit.
@thelevantinemanAnd then we'll go back to it. What time is it? 5.46 in the morning here. Usually in spaces they go until 7 in the morning here. So we have another hour and 15 minutes. Let me see if we can manage it the best we can. Yeah, there is another 14 minutes, I'd say. Yeah, let's finish it and then we can open the conversation and hear your thoughts.
@thelevantinemanAnd we go to the fun part of... of, you know, the spaces where we discuss and we exchange ideas. All right, let's finish it. ...and economy into a serious regional power... Okay, sorry about that. ...would be made the emirate of Mount Lebanon. It had semi-autonomous status, with local emirs and tax farmers running affairs.
@thelevantinemanThis didn't so much manifest as a religious conflict, but as tribal warfare over lands. Throughout the 18th century... The internal power struggles in Lebanon were numerous and of growing intensity. Under the leadership of Bashir Shihab II, a Marianite Christian who reigned from 1789 to 1840, there would be many clashes.
@thelevantinemanWhen the Egyptians under Muhammad Ali set their sights on the conquest of Syria, Bashir welcomed the annexation. Bashir's forces joined them in capturing Damascus and subsequent battles in the region. After their victory, the Egyptians consolidated and organized the Lebanese cities under Damascus, but allowed Bashir to retain control of the Emirate of Mount Lebanon, using his largely Christian forces.
@thelevantinemanYet he would not be able to maintain control for long. Muhammad Ali was modernizing and industrializing Egypt, transforming their military and economy into a serious regional power, fearing the growth of Egypt, Great Britain. Russia and Austria gave their support to the Ottoman Empire and intervened militarily on their behalf twice.
@thelevantinemanEuropean and Ottoman forces started a naval bombardment of Beirut on September 11, 1840.
@thelevantinemanRebels who sided with the British and Ottomans then began their assaults. Beirut, Sidon, and Tyre were captured by the British and Ottoman forces by the end of September. Bashir surrendered on October 11. Just give it to the British to just always, always be there shoving themselves in in a negative way, right? Yeah, just to keep it light.
@thelevantinemanAll right, let's go. Yeah. In 1842, the Ottomans, apparently becoming aware of the heightening tensions between the Christians and the Druze, divided the emirate into two halves. The north was for the Marianites, the south for the Druze. The dividing line was the Damascus-Beirut Highway. If the tensions continued to mount, and foreign powers didn't help, the British were supplying arms to the Druze, and the French, in response, were arming the Marianites.
@thelevantinemanThe fire was lit in 1859, with a Marianite peasant revolt, led by Tanius Shaheen. He was a Marianite peasant leader, but his actions were not directed specifically against the Druze or Muslims, but against Marianite feudal lords in Kaserwa. They expelled the lords, seized their lands and properties, and established a peasant republic.
@thelevantinemanThe act inspired others across Lebanon. But in many regions, the landlords were Druze, when a large brawl between Druze and Maronites resulted in 20 fatalities.
@thelevantinemanThings spiraled out of control with back-and-forth acts of violence. By May 29, 1860, this tit-for-tat violence escalated into full-out civil war that saw militia forces of the Druze attack and burn Marianite villages. The Druze were allied with some of the rural Sunni population, who likewise participated in the attacks.
@thelevantinemanThe Marianites in response gathered forces and struggled to defend themselves. They suffered high casualties. When the Christians were fortified in the city of Zahle, The Druze forces disguised themselves as Christians, carrying Christian banners and crosses, taking from the slain. The Christian men of Zahle welcomed them as they approached, thinking they were reinforcements that they had been expecting.
@thelevantinemanThe city quickly fell to them. Following this, Baalbek was also taken, and even some of its Ottoman garrison were killed when they tried to stop the attacks. The ethnic violence spread even to Damascus, where the Sunni population attacked the Christian quarters of the city. Killing between 6,000 and 12,000 people and destroying much of the Christian part of the city.
@thelevantinemanYet, an unexpected man would rise up to put a stop to the violence. Abd al-Qadir al-Hassani. He was an Algerian hero who fought against the French occupation of Algeria, but was also an Islamic scholar and a Sufi mystic. He lost his struggle against the French and was imprisoned in France for a time, but set free by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte.
@thelevantinemanHe was described by the wife of Richard Francis Burton. He dresses purely in white, enveloped in the usual snowy burnous. If you see him on horseback without knowing him, to be... I think she had a crush on him, the way she describes this guy. Let's listen. To El Cato, you would single him out. He has the seat of a gentleman and a soldier.
@thelevantinemanHis mind is as beautiful as his face. He is every inch a soldier. He was living in Damascus at the time and tried to warn local officials that violence was imminent. Readying for the prospect himself, he marshaled many men to help protect the city. When violence broke out, he shielded hundreds of Christians in his private home, including the Sisters of Mercy, a group of nuns founded in Ireland.
@thelevantinemanA survivor of the incident gave a description of it to a French newspaper. We were in consternation, all of us, quite convinced that our last hour had arrived. In that expectation of death, In those indescribable moments of anguish, heaven, however, sent us a savior. Abdel Kader appeared, surrounded by his Algerians, around 40 of them.
@thelevantinemanHe was on horseback and without arms. His handsome figure, calm and imposing, made a strange contrast with the noise and disorder that reigned everywhere. For his efforts, he won great esteem across the Western world. Abraham Lincoln gifted him inlaid pistols, Britain a golden shotgun. The Vatican gave him the order of Pope Pius IX, and from Greece, the Grand Cross of the Redeemer.
@thelevantinemanHe went from being an enemy of France to a hero, given a grand welcome in Paris by Emperor Napoleon III. As the Christian population in the countryside fled to the Lebanese cities such as Beirut to seek protection, Western governments put significant pressure on the Ottomans to stop the violence. France had a very old treaty dating to 1523 with the Ottomans regarding the protection of Christians in Ottoman lands.
@thelevantinemanAnd with the agreement of the Ottomans, they dispatched 6,000 troops to Lebanon, who arrived in Beirut in August of 1860. The Ottomans also dispatched Fuad Pasha, a senior Ottoman statesman, and invested him with full powers to end the violence. He had over a hundred Druze executed for their role, and worked to restore the property and lands that had been stolen from Christians.
@thelevantinemanThe Western powers then pressured the Ottomans for the establishment of the autonomous Mount Lebanon Mutasarifate. which established a Marianite government to be appointed by the Ottomans, supported by a council of leaders of the other ethnic groups, as well as designate a homeland for the Marianites. One of the finest of Lebanese men who played an oversized role throughout this era was Yosef Bey Karam from the mountain village of Edan.
@thelevantinemanHe was a brave and intelligent green-eyed boy raised as a Christian. By seven, he could speak Arabic, Italian, French, and Syrian. He was instructed in horsemanship. This guy's descendants are friends of mine. became a renowned stick fighter, winning many bouts against nobles. He fought the Egyptians alongside his father and gained a lot of prestige for his intellect and fighting skills.
@thelevantinemanWhen ethnic strife was breaking out, he met with Muslim leaders in Tripoli and convinced them to help prevent ethnic fighting in the area. When things spiraled out of control, he raised a force of 500 and went to the seat of the Maronite Church. Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@thelevantinemanLikely realizing that the force of the Ottomans could not be overcome by his small forces alone, he agreed to the French terms and went to Europe and traveled extensively promoting the cause of Lebanese independence.
@thelevantinemanAlright, this is the last part. There's a quick ad that I'm going to just put through and then we'll continue. I hope you guys are enjoying as much as I am.
@thelevantinemanDuring the 19th century, the urban centers of Lebanon were also growing and changing. Beirut became the dominant city and was closely tied to the export of silk, which Lebanon had become a major producer and exporter of. Western capital began to flow into the city. Roads were expanded, the port was highly developed, and telegraph lines were installed.
@thelevantinemanYet other traditional cities such as Sidon and Tyre, major centers during the Phoenician days, declined. becoming regional centers associated with agriculture and fishing. Tripoli in the north maintained traditional crafts, manufacturing, and exported olive oil, soap, and textiles. Zatla, which had before been just a village, expanded to become one of the largest cities in Lebanon, due in part to the silk trade.
@thelevantinemanIt's the third largest city in Lebanon today, inhabited predominantly by Greek Catholics. Then, the First War broke out. Ottoman troops were sent into Lebanon. They seized direct control of the region, took food supplies for their army, disrupted trade networks and caused... The First World War brought a lot of misery to Lebanon.
@thelevantinemanLet's hear about it. That led to the deaths of around 100,000 people over the course of the war. While that was unfolding, France and Britain were already making backroom deals as to who would claim what portions of Ottoman lands. That was when the Jewish...
@thelevantinemanAnd I was lobbying both France and mostly more England with regards to the establishment of the Jewish state. That was the time where it eventually culminated with the Belfort Declaration. So when we listen to how they divided the area amongst themselves, the French and the British, Just keep in mind that the Jewish lobbyists, if you will, were working hard at the time on both sides.
@thelevantineman...Iraq, the Persian Gulf and Palestine, the French, Lebanon, Syria, parts of southern Turkey and northern Iraq. And in many ways, a lot of the violence ongoing in the region today can be directly traced back to these imperial decisions. Later in 1920, the League of Nations gave a rubber stamp to what French and English had earlier agreed, and the French High Commissioner proclaimed Greater Lebanon.
@thelevantinemanA tense stasis would continue in Lebanon until the outbreak of World War II, with the Nazi occupation of France and the establishment of the so-called Vichy government, the collaborationist French government that ruled unoccupied regions of France. This drama played out also in Syria and Lebanon. When Iraqi nationalist forces ousted the British-controlled government on April 1, 1941, and gained power in Iraq, they appealed for help to the Germans and Italians against the British forces.
@thelevantinemanThe Germans obliged, and the French authorities in Syria and Lebanon allowed Germany to move supplies and aircraft through Lebanon and Syria to aid the Iraqis. However, the Iraqis were defeated by the British army by the end of May, and the British sent an invasion force from occupying Palestine. and Iraq into Syria and Lebanon.
@thelevantinemanThe Australian forces, under British command, were near to capturing Beirut when on July 10, 1941 a ceasefire was negotiated and French command surrendered. The British handed over the administration to the so-called Free French. Charles de Gaulle visited Lebanon after the fighting and promised to recognize the independence of Lebanon.
@thelevantinemanIn 1943, the Lebanese factions representing Christians, Muslims and Druze came together to agree on the formation of a multi-religious state. Christians agreed not to seek outside interference by Western powers and to accept the Arab and Islamic features of Lebanon. Muslims agreed not to seek unity with Syria. The president would always be a Maronite Christian, the prime minister always a Sunni Muslim.
@thelevantinemanDeputy prime minister would be Greek Orthodox. This formula may have made sense at the time, given the demographics then, but it would soon lead to its own crisis. Elections were held in 1943, and shortly after, the new government of Lebanon declared an end to the mandate. However, the French refused to leave. They jailed the elected government and tracked down on dissent.
@thelevantinemanUnder British pressure, they soon released the government members, but refused to leave Lebanon. Nor would they leave until 1946, and so it was that the modern state of Lebanon finally obtained full independence. But it was born into a chaotic era of intense conflict. The country descended into civil war in 1975. The complexity of the civil war.
@thelevantinemanThe complexity of the civil war. I'm going to make it simple for you. Zionists funded one side and funded the other and made sure that there was civil war in Lebanon. But we can listen to what he has to say. Between 1975 and 1990 is beyond the topic of this video.
@thelevantinemanBut it resulted in the deaths of around 150,000 people. From the ashes emerged Hezbollah and a rather confusing... Yeah, from the ashes. So you notice that guy, I mean, it's a good documentary. He's so much truth, but he doesn't want to mention anything about Israel. So he just says, from the ashes of the civil war, here comes Hezbollah.
@thelevantinemanIt's like, no, dude. From the invasion of the Israelis who wanted to steal the land came Hezbollah. But again, I mean, this is, yeah, we will unpack.
@yourvitalitydocEven better, Iran created Hezbollah.
@thelevantinemanFrom the Iranian invasion of Lebanon, here comes Hezbollah. Yeah, that's politics for you. But it's almost done. Let's listen to the last minute and a few, minute and a half or so, because the end is nice. In the political order that still exists in Lebanon today, I wish that the Lebanese people can come together in such times of hardship.
@thelevantinemanStanding tall and strong like the cedar against such terrible winds of destruction, those grown together stand together. From the Canaanites and the mighty Phoenician Empire, the cities of Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos, as old as Stonehenge, the magical temples of Baalbek, the beautiful monasteries of the Khadija Valley, and the Lady of Lebanon,
@thelevantinemanThese are yours, part of your history, sometimes fraught, sometimes fragile, divided by religion, but united through common origin and common history, dwelling between the sea and the cedars of those losty mountains. I hope you liked the video, and if you did, please like, share, and subscribe.
@ladyjustice9111Did he cut off? Yeah, he cut off. Sounds like something to do with the video. Are you back? Oh, I think he's back.
@thelevantinemanI'll land with this and I'll kick it to you, JoAnn, to go through the hands. I just want to land with the message of... So the creator of the political party that my grandparents were in and my parents were in, I don't belong to that party, but I... Still love the ideology. The guy's name, he's an Orthodox Greek, Orthodox Christian.
@thelevantinemanThat was a social nationalist that believed in the greater Syria, you know, before these divisions of Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, and all of that. He says something that is very near and dear to my heart. He says, we have all submitted to God. Some of us submitted... Inevitable China
@thelevantinemanTo take our land, and that is the Jew. So that was the guy what he believed in, and I believe the same. He passed away in the 40s when the imperial Zionist powers decided to end him. I will link also some of his good sites to know his works. He actually went to Germany. I met with Uncle H, and yeah, very fascinating man.
@thelevantinemanHe was a philosopher, he was a politician, he garnered a lot of support in Palestine, in Lebanon, in Iraq, in Syria, and his name is Anton Saadi. Anyway, I'm going to kick it to you, JoAnn, to go through the hands, and yeah, thanks.
@joann_marieNo, excellent, excellent video, Raed, thank you so much. And I don't know, because I was like putting the groceries away and like doing stuff, but I don't know if in the video you mentioned that St. Charbel, that it's a saint, a Maronite Catholic saint in Lebanon who is venerated by the Muslims, by the Druze and the Maronites, the Christians, the Catholics, like we all come together in Lebanon and people think that it...
@joann_marieThe worst things of Lebanon is literally not the reality of what happens there. So I just wanted to look up St. Charbel. That's our family saint. And we always put statues of St. Charbel in chapels here. And we carry it everywhere. We're so proud of St. Charbel. And it's beautiful because we... Something that brings all of the different cultures in Lebanon together as well.
@joann_marieSo excellent. Thank you so much, Raed. And guys, please repost this space. And if you guys go to it, I will also repost it and bookmark it. It helps so much with the algorithm. And follow Ian, Andrea, David, Michael, Mandy, everybody, Heidi, everybody on the panel. So thank you so much. And I love this topic. So thank you so much, Raed and Ian, for doing this.
@joann_marieIt's absolutely beautiful. All right. Heidi, go for it, sister. Welcome.
@ladyjustice9111Hey, guys. Thanks, Ian, JoAnn, Raed, for putting up this space. Well, all your spaces, really. They're on fire. They are on fire lately. And Raed, thank you for saying that Lebanon was a part of the greater Syria and acknowledging that. Lebanon was a part of the broader historical region of the Romans and ancient Syria.
@ladyjustice9111And then Christianity was founded there in the first century A.D. So I appreciate your knowledge and your wisdom, Raed. It's bar none when it comes to Syria and when it comes to the greater Syria. But real quick, I just wanted to expound on this, and then I'm going to play just a really quick clip. So I'm going to come in right now and talk about how they want to erase Christians all over the Levant.
@ladyjustice9111I mean, in Syria for sure, and then Lebanon for sure, and in Palestine. They have bombed, I don't know, I think it's over now 50 plus churches, ancient historical churches. And this was in the advent of bringing in, and I know you guys are probably very bored of hearing this, but for the ones that do not know, bringing in Al-Qaeda Hedgehopper Joulanian.
@ladyjustice9111As soon as he rolled into Syria, which was December 2024, The main thing was to get rid of the Christians. Totally. And how were they doing that? The first thing that they did, mind you, they came in and they rolled in. Israel rolled in in December 8, 2024. As soon as they rolled in, they were preparing. The Christian communities were preparing for Christmas, right?
@ladyjustice9111So they set fire to all the Christmas trees. They distributed leaflets in Christian communities saying... We will get rid of the pig shit. They forced the hijab and niqab on Christians, especially in the beginning, in a very ancient place called Bab Tuma in the George Hody neighborhood. And they segregated buses, like transport, public transportation, like dividing women and men together, sort of like Wahhabi, what they do in Saudi Arabia.
@ladyjustice9111And they warned the people in the coast, which... Over 80,000 got slaughtered, murdered, and raped. The Kos Latakia Tartus, which is so beautiful. They warned the Kos Latakia women that they shall not wear bikinis, only burkini. And they kidnapped women and children, over 80,000, who knows what kind of Epstein tunnels they're in.
@ladyjustice9111And they slaughtered the slaughtered minorities, including Muslims like Alawites and Christians mostly. We have only 300 families left in Syria that speak Aramaic. Now we have the village, which is a community. I know there's people that speak Aramaic throughout the world, but this is a whole community and a whole village that speaks Aramaic throughout this world.
@joeyggggggggggYou have one here with your friends, Joey. I can tell you guys anything in Aramaic.
@ladyjustice9111Yes, yes, yes, Joey. But I'm talking about a whole village, which is called Marloula in Syria, that still speak the Aramaic language. And the 300 families that are left that speak Aramaic are also targets of these ISIS and Al-Qaeda head-chopper criminals.
@thelevantinemanHeidi, tell me something to the listeners to hear that from you as a Syrian. When these head choppers came down on Maaloula and were killing and destroying and desecrating all the Christian churches there, who defended that town and who lost men defending that town and then tidied up all the churches and helped the people there?
@thelevantinemanWho was it?
@ladyjustice9111It was the Muslims, right?
@thelevantinemanThey were Hezbollah.
@ladyjustice9111Hezbollah.
@thelevantinemanThe terrorists.
@joann_marieI have pictures of that. There's one that looks like a cousin of mine. He's holding a picture of a saint or Jesus. I can't remember what he's called. I'll post it, but I have a cousin who looks exactly like one of the Hezbollah fighters.
@ladyjustice9111No, no, post it, post it. Yeah, they're demonizing Hezbollah, of course, right? But you guys need to know that are in the West how they really are trying to get rid of Christians. Totally. And here's the reason why, guys. This is why. Look, Hillary Clinton in 2012, she said ISIS is on our side. Who do they work for? Just listen to this.
@ladyjustice9111This is only 60 seconds.
Speaker 1We don't do anything illegal. You cannot take us to jail.
@brycemlipscombIf you are not involved, please go.
Speaker 1Shalom, my friend. We bless you.
@thelevantinemanYou come to the United States, you can say whatever you want to say.
Ian MalcolmThat is the free world, yes? You're not in the United States. You're in Israel.
@brycemlipscombI understand. You cannot say whatever you want to say here. Yes, you can. It's legal. It is legal to preach about Yeshua.
@georgepaul888We preach at Damascus Gate. The police said it's okay.
Speaker 1We preach at Jaffa Gate, the police say it's okay. Please stop. I respect you, respect me. That is the right thing.
Speaker 2Are you Jewish? Do you want to honor God? That is the godly thing to do. We respect one another.
Speaker 1The godly thing is to kill me.
@lebanon_johnThat's right. That's what the Torah says. The Torah says to kill us. The Torah says that people who worship idols such as yourself So anyways, the former leader of Syria, Bashar Assad, he protected the Christians.
Ian MalcolmNow...
@ladyjustice9111The Christian community is in a huge decline. And I put the numbers in the purple pill for the reason that you just heard now. Because Sanhedrin, it's Sanhedrin to kill idol worshippers. And this is what's happening in America now, the Noahide laws. You guys already know that they're turning churches into raves and they're turning churches into clubs, right?
@ladyjustice9111So I'm just letting Americans, I'm just warning Americans now that what's happening in Syria, what's happening in Gaza and in Palestine... Thank you, Ian, JoAnn and Raed for putting up this space. I'll just hang in here if I need a pipe in. Thanks, guys. I posted a video in the jump button and also in the purple pill of Hezbollah liberating a Christian village in Syria and how the nuns
@joann_marieSo, Hezbollah's angels that saved them. So, yeah, it's there. And, yeah, check it out, guys, because they also lie about the resistance as well. So, God bless them. So, thank you. All right. Aniur, welcome.
@anoirbtxHi. Hi again. Raed, I have a question for you.
@bshara76Sure, shoot.
@anoirbtxYeah, I want to know about everything about Baal. As a cult and like Baalbek everything if you can just dump your like do mind dump somehow tell us everything you know about it from the tradition from the subculture from the every everything almost like you see what I mean
@thelevantinemanWell, I wish I could really answer with any, you know, deep knowledge. What I know is that there existed that kind of God there then. And for me, that is just the opposite of God. I mean, that kind of Baal. Worshiping was the opposite of the monotheism and the opposite of God and the opposite of Christ and the messages that came.
@thelevantinemanBut maybe Joey or I don't know, maybe somebody else would know more about it. To be honest, I'm not quite informed about that.
@joeyggggggggggI know a little something about Baalbek. My grandpa, Beirut was his favorite city and my grandpa, man, I miss him so much. He died almost 100 years old, but it literally broke me because we were so close, and he was my hero, always my hero growing up. Beirut was his favorite city in the whole world. He used to always tell me that.
@joeyggggggggggAnd one of my prized possessions to this day, well, JoAnn has seen one of them. He gave me an Arabic copy of my comp, but that's for another conversation. I have a postcard from him with his handwriting and his signature, everything on the back of it. I've investigated the Sumerian tablets a lot because that's part of the Mesopotamian
@joeyggggggggggI believe that all of us Levantines share the same blood and culture to a certain degree. But anyways, these tablets from ancient Sumer describe Baalbek. For those of you who believe in the ancient aliens theory, which I'm not a big believer of that, but according According to the Sumerian tablets, Baalbek had a different function as a spaceport.
@joeyggggggggggBut that's, as I said, that's more mythological.
@anoirbtxYeah, it's a sort of interdimensional portal, kind of, right? That's what's said. That's what was written on the Sumerian tablets. Yeah, because it's like, for me, it's like something is odd with them. Okay, we know that they have the control of the world throughout the monetary system and etc. It's like they have cast a spell on the world throughout the dollar, which is sort of a sigil.
@anoirbtxI am a scientific guy. I'm not the kind of guy that you will rub your eyes because I will talk about aliens, etc. I'm just scientific, but I'm following some clues, somehow to figure out something about them. They have... Thank you very much.
@anoirbtxI will just try to... You want to hear something ironic, brother?
@joeyggggggggggYou want to hear something ironic? In all of the times, all of the things I've read about Baalbeck, no one has ever made the connection to this invented deity called Baal. So I honestly, I think that they maybe did that deliberately to try to conflate the two because this structure would have been... It would have been Phoenician.
@joeyggggggggggIt would have been either Phoenician or Sumerian. No, it's a Sumerian. It's coming from the Babylon. Because it predates all of that.
@nietzsche258918Yeah, because in Carthage, okay, also... Did you realize that the Phoenicians and the Sumerians were like thousands of years apart, right?
@anoirbtxYeah.
@nietzsche258918Very different periods of civilization.
@anoirbtxYeah, but you understand that the same sort of cult moved throughout the civilization between the Euphrates and Tiger. And then when the Jews got enslaved somehow, captivity period, they somehow got to interact with something there. That's a part of what have moved even There's a very old Chinese saying, how does this change the taste of my tea?
@anoirbtxI don't even know that the people that we're talking about today are actually from the area that you're thinking about. Hold on, I'm not done here.
@nietzsche258918But the point is,
@nietzsche258918Think of this, thinking verbs and not nouns. What is being done and who's doing it, right? The Jewish supremacists of today identify with a certain way of thinking and they think of themselves as a group that has a parasitic relationship with the people around them and that is it. I don't really, you know, evil is evil.
@nietzsche258918You know, it's basically evil is the absence of good in the way that darkness is the absence of light. I don't really need to know like what incantations they're making or I don't really need to know what they have for breakfast or whether their mothers held them enough when they were children. I know they're evil now, you know, and I know that that evility is right over there and we need to stop it.
@nietzsche258918I almost feel like channeling Life of Brian, which is ironic. When he says, you know, they're right there. We have to go out and do something right now. And he goes, all right, let's have a quorum to consider what, no, no, no. It's happening right now. They're doing this. I'm not so sure I need to go. I'm a classicist, and I know all of these historical things, but I'm not so sure that it's helpful to go that far back.
@anoirbtxDavid, okay, I agree with you about some of what you have said. Myself, even in the whole conversation, I really don't want us to stay to educate ourselves about them and the history of the Levant, etc. Spend years maybe and thinking about educating billions of people, it's like we are now never going to solve the problem.
@anoirbtxBut I am really digging into the right direction, I think. It's like the Epstein thing is full... What could be more disturbing about them than what they're doing? Like if we found out that Ted Bundy was a Satan worshipper, could it possibly make him any more evil than he already was?
@nietzsche258918I mean, if you're committing genocide, isn't that it? I mean, I don't really, what else? Okay, we're not seeing eye to eye here, but I understand.
@joann_marieAnd your theory is that they have superpowers? I don't know. No, their power comes from blackmail and bribing. You know, like they control the finances and the media. And yeah, they are like satanic pedophiles who literally enjoy. But they don't have superpowers.
@anoirbtxWait, let me depict it as it is right now, okay? We know that they care so much about building that certain fucking temple, okay?
@joann_marieYeah, because they're schizophrenic lunatics.
@anoirbtxYeah, it's just schizophrenic, psychomaniac, whatever, everything, you know? Understand that? Just keep it...
@anoirbtxHold on. It's like them are so deranged, so... Akin to just build that something, okay? And everything is around this. Okay, they control the Hollywood Conference. Great, but it's not just the control of the financial, because they have the Federal Reserve, they print money as they wish and they will keep printing and it's inflation for us, but it's robbery, actually.
@anoirbtxWe understand this, but there is something that they are working towards. It's like not I am trying to convince anyone here that there is some extraterrestrial forces or evil spirit or whatever, but we have to figure it out. If I may interrupt you.
@thelevantinemanI think it's an important topic to try to unpack.
@thelevantinemanI went through that. I dove into that, the esoterical, if you will, the metaphysical aspects of what they believe. But we can discuss that for many hours. And what you're talking about, we all in this space know about. But just for the sake of the topic of this space, what I would tell you is what I tell myself. I do not care what they believe or
@thelevantinemanWho they follow. I know that that dimension of the conversation is the dimension that I tell myself that this is at the end of the day, God will win.
@anoirbtxSorry, I interrupted you a bit. How come it's about Christianity and you do not care about what they believe when Christianity is something against what they believe?
@thelevantinemanYeah, hold on, hold on, hold on. Now no one is saying we don't care. What I'm saying is that in this space right now, we do not want to unpack that. Not because we don't want to talk about it. No, you would find that most of us here on this panel and in this space have dove into the information about what these guys are about.
@thelevantinemanBut for the sake of this space, I would say, The following is that these are the enemies of God. If you want to be religious, you would say they follow Satan. If you want to be secular about it, you say they follow the dark energies, the opposite of the Creator, right? And at the end of the day, that element for me, how I rest and I feel that things are going to be okay, is the fact that I am a man of
@thelevantinemanthat believes in God, and I am a man of faith. So that element of the fight, I know that at the end of the day, God will win. But we can have that conversation, but for the sake of this space, and we have a lot of hands, and I followed you back, we can open a space, if you will, about the esoteric, the metaphysical aspect of this, because there's a lot of fascinating information.
@thelevantinemanFor the sake of this space, I would say God, at the end of the day, will win. And when I say God, I'm not talking Christianity or Islam or any other religion. I'm talking about the creator of the universe. God will take care of that aspect, right? But we can have that conversation. Again, we can do a whole space about it if you feel like it.
@thelevantinemanBut let's keep moving with the hands. Joann, I'll kick it back to you.
@joann_marieExcellent, thank you so much. Inevitable, go for it.
@inevitablechinaHello, yes, thank you, thank you. Yeah, and I love Ian's faces. I love this face. This has been really wonderful. This is one of my favorite. I really wanted to understand, like, you know, not just Hezbollah, but the whole landscape of just, it started with the political side of Lebanon and this idea of, oh, well, the president must be like a Maronite Christian.
@inevitablechinaAnd like, why is that? Why is Hezbollah... In one end, like, legitimized, and in the other, it's like a disregarded sort of, you know, ostracized group and where the roots go back to it. And I really actually am kind of rethinking my standpoint on the Maronite, the background of the Maronites, if you will. I have always known, you know, the felonists are not the only game in town, but they certainly made a huge impact.
@inevitablechinaI always only really went back to the first mountain war, if you will, of the two. I know they're not usually connected, but I like to connect them sometimes. The 1860s mountain wars, as opposed to the 1980s. But going back even further to the beginning, I think that's really opened my eyes. Well, not even opened my eyes, it's just given me something to think about more so.
@inevitablechinaAnd I appreciate that being shared. I think... Someone tried to bring up Baal earlier. I'm not going to get too much into it, but I would say I wouldn't even delve too hard about it. If you're going to go to the Sumerian tablets, you don't stop at Baal. I think you would just go into the post-Renaissance, or not even that, you would go into the Gnostics.
@inevitablechinaAnd from the Gnostics, maybe go into the post-Renaissance combination, if you will. Because the Gnostics and the Sethians and and Valentinians and the Mandy insects. That's probably where they pick up from the Sumerians with the whole concept of the Demiurge and Yaldabaoth being the head Demiurge in charge. So just go down that route and maybe you'll find something that you like, whoever that guy was.
@inevitablechinaThat's where I found it a pretty interesting route, but I wouldn't stop at Baal. I get why you would stop there, but it's not worth it. Go in the other direction. But anyway, no, I think, Raed, you know, you and I have talked extensively about the political framework and the geographical framework in Lebanon as it pertains to, like, the last, really, like, a hundred years.
@inevitablechinaAnd it really feels like the Falangists, especially, are the baby of the Zionists. Like, the Zionists, you could argue, if you really want to be conspiratorial, you could even say, like, that's, like, the work of hundreds of years. And it really makes me think that just like by, you know, the British and Ottoman connection, you know, whatever the British did, as we know, in the Levant, that's 100% at like the Rothschilds' behest.
@inevitablechinaAnd not to be stereotypical here, because everyone says, oh, Rothschild, Rothschild, Rothschild, but it is true. You know, that's certainly like, and the Zionist movement even then at the time was a pretty... Pretty significant. I think by then you kind of had a really strong movement. I guess you could say bubbling beneath the surface.
@inevitablechinaSo yeah, like a British-Austrian-Ottoman fleet. I don't know if you mentioned Robert Stopford or if the documentary mentioned Robert Stopford and Charles Napier. But yeah, like that's totally... No, but what I can add, sorry. They're kind of photo head shoppers when you think about it.
@thelevantinemanGo ahead. Actually, what also is important when we talk about the Maronites, because a lot of them do not agree with the Zionist ideology, but the problem was when Chaim Wiseman actually contacted the Maronite church in Lebanon in the 30s. And this was where, you know, the subversion. He posited that, you know, we'll have this part for the Jews.
@thelevantinemanAnd you can have this part for the Christians. But understanding and knowing who Chaim Wiseman is and what ideology he follows and that he is part of the Talmudic tribe, he obviously was lying. But then the Fallenges got created in 1939, I think, 38, 39. And it's the town of my mother. So I know their history. And actually us as a political party were completely against it from the start.
@thelevantinemanSo yeah, there's a lot of histories there.
@inevitablechinaThey carved it out, the Maronites, Raed. Even just in the 20s, and it's well documented, the Zionists had contact as early as the early 20s. There's this book called My Enemy's Enemy. I didn't read all of it, but just from what I got from it, they really went into the text that you can even pull up somewhere that specifically speaks to the Maronite activists that were there.
@inevitablechinaAnd you can understand why. That's one thing that I think about. It's like, okay, Maronite activists weren't inherently just waiting for Zionists to come down and swoop down and turn them into an antagonistic entity, let alone carve out the fallacy.
@thelevantinemanI would say that. I would say this. You know how Washington contacted the Kurds, right? Absolutely. And used the Kurds and then dropped the Kurds. It's that kind of thing. But what I also know for a fact that a lot of the everyday Maronites are very much Eastern Levantines that are very proud people and refuse Zionism.
@thelevantinemanBut the problem is the head of the church is a little bit You know how politics happen, but... Yeah, the IUNIs, right? No relation.
@joann_marieAnd also they have like a crazy version of history that they like manipulate, kind of like what the Jews do, right? And they just leave half of it out and they just lie. Like, I have gotten into it with a lot of the Christian Maronites here. Maybe they're Jews, I don't know, pretending to be Maronites, I don't know. But...
@joann_marieYeah, no, they pretend like, for example, the Karantina massacre in Lebanon, they just leave it out and they're like, oh no, the Shias killed us. And it's like, you were killing Palestinians and Shias before, you know, so they just erase half of the history and they pretend like they are the victims when they were actually the perpetrators.
@joann_marieSo, yeah.
@ladyjustice9111JoAnn, I've had the same experience with the Maronites in Florida. The Lebanese community in Florida, the Maronites, exactly the same. Same experience.
@joann_marieThey make my blood boil even more than Jews. I feel so betrayed. Some of them, JoAnn.
@thelevantinemanYou know what? They remind me of the Iranian Pahlavi. Oh, I like that. Yeah. So that's what happened, especially with the diaspora. They don't know their second generation, so they get lied to and they become zealots. But they do not represent the majority, the majority of the Maronites in Lebanon. Trust me on this one, I know.
@joann_marieYeah, they are just like really fucking loud and they are so annoying.
@thelevantinemanYeah, they're just like the Iranian monarchs. Yeah.
@joann_marieIt's just one, but it makes the noise of like 1,000. It's so crazy how low they fucking are and so obnoxious.
@thelevantinemanI see a hand up. He's Lebanese. Maybe we can just favor the Lebanese and give him... I haven't heard him speak before. Maybe we can start with Pshara. He's got his hand up. Go ahead, Pshara.
@joeyggggggggggReally quick, isn't that loser Mario Nofala Maronite?
@joann_marieIt's a traitor, like an absolute fucking traitor. Didn't his parents work for Mossad, right?
@thelevantinemanOr for Israel or something? Yes, so what happened... Okay, it's a bit of a long story, but let me make it very quick short. When the Israelis occupied southern Lebanon, they were able to schmooze some Christian Maronites into working with them because they had this hatred for the Palestinians that also were guilty in a lot of ways of how they behaved in Lebanon.
@thelevantinemanSo they worked with the Israelis. So when we liberated Lebanon and they had cooperated with the Israelis, they ran away with the... So some of them left to the United States, some to Australia, some actually stayed in Israel. And they happen to be Maronites. But again, it's not representative of the Maronites of Lebanon.
@thelevantinemanAll right. I don't know what happened to Kshara. I'll leave the hands up to you.
Ian MalcolmHe's still there.
@bshara76I'm still here. Good morning and good evening, everyone. I'm sorry for budging in. Nice to meet you. Let's wait till the end to say that. Because when I entered the space, I was provoked by the title. And funny that no one is really Lebanese Christian around here. And everybody's just talking their theories. I'm a Maronite Christian living here for more than 50 years.
@bshara76Raed is Lebanese Christian. I got cut off.
@joann_marieI got cut off from this guy. Yeah.
@bshara76Let me finish, please.
@joann_marieI didn't interrupt anyone. No, we're checking your facts. You literally said that there was no Lebanese Christians here, and both Raed and I are Lebanese Christians.
@bshara76Well, from his point of view, I have doubts. You have doubts? Yes, when you said that they did some things, the Palestinians in Lebanon, some atrocities. Can you just tell the others, can you feed them back about the Damour and why they were here and why everything happened, about Fatah Land? I see what view you have.
@thelevantinemanSo yes, the Palestinians did terrible things in Lebanon, but also the phalanges, which I assume you belong to, or Bashir Jemayel, or the people that were funded by Israel to start the civil war. Hold on, this is a lot of nuance. It's well documented.
@joann_marieYeah, look up the Carantina Massacre. The Falangist literally started it.
@thelevantinemanHold on. Yeah, and very important, Chiara. First of all, I am an Orthodox, Greek Orthodox Christian. And I am half from Bekfea, and I know the whole story. Like, I don't want to dig into the Lebanese Civil War. We can have a lot of conversations about that. But I saw that you have the Lebanese flag. And here's my question.
@thelevantinemanDo you believe that Israel is the enemy and do you support the resistance in Lebanon that is fighting Israel? That is my question. Otherwise, you know, I'm not going to listen to you a lot more because you come in here and say nobody's Christian here and nobody is Lebanese. As if you're the authority of Lebanon. This is the question for you.
@thelevantinemanIs Israel an existential threat to Lebanon?
@bshara76Well, I'm going to take the official part of my government that said that Israel now, for now, You're asking your opinion.
@thelevantinemanLet him answer because I really want to know how to converse with you.
@bshara76Let me tell you something.
@ladyjustice9111Shana, just answer before you tell him something.
@bshara76Yeah, answer the question.
@thelevantinemanIs Lebanon the existential threat? Is Israel the existential threat to Lebanon?
@bshara76No, I don't think so, no. Thank you very much.
@thelevantinemanLet's give him, no, no, hold on. No, Anwar, please don't intervene. No, no, please, please, Raed. No, Anwar, please, no, Habibi.
@ladyjustice9111Just mute everyone, mute everyone, Raed, mute everyone.
@thelevantinemanYeah, this is what I'm going to do, because now my blood is starting to boil. Okay, Anwar, first of all, please, just chill, chill, chill. Beshara, this is the problem. This is the embarrassment people like you bring to us Lebanese. The whole world, the whole world has seen how evil Israel is. The whole world is shocked by the barbarity and the criminality and the supremacy of that Frankenstate that is Israel.
@thelevantinemanIsrael is wiping out towns in Lebanon. 3 Christian towns are surrounded by the IDF and they're having a hard time getting food. And these people are Maronite Christians in the southern Lebanon suffering under the hands of the Israelis. The Israelis went to Lebanon, they found a statue of Jesus Christ, they broke it down and then with a hammer they destroyed it.
@thelevantinemanThese people hate us as Christians mainly and then as Lebanese in general. When I ask another Lebanese person about Israel and they go murky or gray, it means they're Zionists in their belief. Thus, they're not Lebanese. So I'm not going to derail the space with your stupidity, Pshara. Go look within yourself. Go find Christ and see who are the enemies of Christ, who put Christ on the cross, who are the descendants of these people.
@thelevantinemanWhat does their Talmud say?
@thelevantinemanabout what is the existential threat that we're dealing with. You're still stuck in the past with your hatred to Palestinians and hatred to Muslims and what happened in Damur. I had family in Damur that was gone, that were killed by the Palestinians. But I focus on our main enemy, that is Israel, the enemy of God and humanity and the enemy of Christianity.
@thelevantinemanSo you can fuck right off. I don't care if you're Lebanese to me. You're not even Lebanese, so I'm going to remove you because I don't need that to be the ending of our beautiful session here and what we've discussed. You are a sectarian idiot. Wake up and snap out and come to reality. Thank you. All right, let's go with the hands.
@thelevantinemanSorry about that, but it's a good show and tell about some minority in the Maronites. Thank you so much. And also Sabra and Shatila was horrific as well. All right. Oh, my God.
@ladyjustice9111You're good, you're good. Inevitable, thank you for bringing that up, by the way.
@joann_marieYeah, go for it, Inevitable, and then we'll go to Dr. Strange.
@inevitablechinaVery good, yeah, and I will kind of be quick, I think. Yeah, well, it's interesting to hear that. Look, yeah, it's volatile, and I, again, I always had this leaning negative slant toward Maronite. It's not like just, I try not to paint with a broad brush, but... Hey, it's kind of tough.
@joann_marieNo, but there is really, really based ones in Inevitable. There's cool ones. I've met a couple of them. They're just not as fucking loud.
@inevitablechinaOh, yeah. Well, that's... Yeah, I love the comparison to, like, to the freaking falavists. And look, you know, it's interesting because, like, you have the 1860 and 1983-82, you know, mountain war.
@inevitablechinaInevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, DavidNietzsche2310, Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, DavidNietzsche2310, Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, DavidNietzsche2310,
@inevitablechinaYou had all this bullshit with the French and how they basically eradicated a ton of villages, like 60 villages basically were wiped out. And there was this idea of the French leading this Christian-governed area, if you will. I don't want to say province, but for lack of a better term, I will say that. And in 1983, you had basically a war of militias.
@inevitablechinaSo you have village bands in the 1860s, and in the 1980s, it's... Malicious. And they try to delegitimize what Hezbollah is and say, well, it's, you know, it emerged kind of like what the documentary said that Raed was playing earlier. They try to say that Hezbollah emerged from, I don't know, infighting and not from a necessary reaction to an invasion.
@inevitablechinaAnd yeah, it's like complete gaslighting. And it's, I could tell that the closer you get to the present day, with really with a The more that these documentaries and folks have to toe the company line, if you will, because you don't want to step on the Jews' toes, if you will. But yeah, I think that Israel has always had this fixation, and that's something I wanted to ask you guys.
@inevitablechinaNow that I think about how the Jews view religious sites in Lebanon, and how important Is there more? Because they always, and I've always looked at it too, they always paint the fixation that they have of southern Lebanon to like a military, like a sort of strategic standpoint, like a strategic opportunity. Look at like the Ali Altair, for example, and what they're doing there.
@inevitablechinaIt's always phrased from, oh, well, we just want this high ground. That's why we want Beaufort Castle, because we just want good high ground. That's why we want the Golan Heights. But I'm wondering if there's more to that, if there's like a much more, you know, you know what I mean? Like a much more sinister backing to this like fixation to southern Lebanon.
@thelevantineman100% Inevitable, 100%.
@thelevantinemanIf we look at the negotiations and head-butting between the French and the English to where Palestine's border would be, and then the Lebanese part would come when they were deciding on the Sykes-Picot and they were drawing these borders over a glass of wine, probably.
@thelevantinemanAnd then that line, the Jews wanted until the Litani River. They always wanted that part.
@thelevantinemanInevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@thelevantinemanBut this is what they say and what they do and their plans are to take southern Lebanon. Actually, there is a video that went around.
@joann_marieI know what you're talking about.
@thelevantinemanThe one that's talking to his kid and telling him the story that this is our land about southern Lebanon. They have children book in Israel, books for children that discuss about Lebanon, Lebanon, Lebanon. And they claim that this is their promised land as well, that is in southern Lebanon. I'll try to find the video and I'll put it in the purple poll.
@thelevantinemanYeah.
@joann_marieI thought the one that you were talking about is how in the Zionist Congress or something, they were planning to take all the way up to the Litani River and they said that that is like there. Yeah, thank you for that, Joann. Yeah, it's in the Jumbotron, guys. Thank you. Check it out. Yeah.
@thelevantinemanI will look for the one that you were talking about. You know which one I'm talking about. Sitting with his child on his lap and he's flipping this book, child book, and he's telling us, it's ours as well. Look, give it to Jews. Give it to Jews to see a piece of land on the Mediterranean for free and try to hold them back.
@thelevantinemanAll right, let's go. All right.
Ian MalcolmOh, my God. Dr. Strange, go for it.
@submission2tHey, JoAnn. Raed, Ian, great space as usual. I kind of joined in late, so I missed most of it, unfortunately. I had some family duties. But nevertheless, I did wanted to share a few personal notes based on my interactions with Lebanese. While growing up early on, I had a very close friend that I used to play baseball with all the time.
@submission2tI didn't know he was ethnically Lebanese. I mean, he was your average American. And then later on and much later, I found out that his father was Lebanese. Levanese, Christian Levanese
@submission2tYou realize that they have really good social skills. I mean, their social intelligence is far above the average person. And this is what leads them to be so good in business, especially in leadership roles. And, you know, there are more Lebanese who live outside of Lebanon than in Lebanon. And they do really well all over from an entrepreneurial perspective.
@submission2tThe broader region in the Levant, the more you get to know these people, the more you interact with them, you find that these people are really cultured. And that's the one thing that really comes off. The more you get to know them, and that includes even Iranians, right? You find that these people are really cultured.
@submission2tAnd it's really enriching to be around them or socially interact with them. So that's been, and again, over the past 20, 30 years, I've had plenty of experiences because I actually went and visited that region for work purposes quite often. But I've had a very positive experience in... I always wondered, why is it that the Lebanese are so good with social interactions?
@submission2tIt's in their blood. They are really good when it comes to, I would say, social intelligence. And then it dawned upon me that these people had to deal with every Tom, Dick, and Harry for the past thousands of years. They were like the crossroads of every empire that moved all over. And they had to deal with the good, the bad, and the ugly, which I am inclined to believe led to a culture of how to deal with terrible people, how they deal with all kinds of people.
@submission2tSo nevertheless, I've had a very positive personal experiences going into the region, engaging with people. I don't think I've ever had a negative experience with people from that Levant. Raed Jamal, Dr. Strange
@submission2tThank you so much, Dr.
@joann_marieStrange. And I agree. I think we do this kind of haggle, but it's not like the used one. We are trying to build that relationship with whoever we're either buying or selling from. And it's just beautiful. I love it. And it's part of our culture. And I love it. And yeah, we have a lot of Lebanese people here because... Yeah, because of Israel, right?
@joann_marieSo it's, I don't know, it's such a beautiful culture and I wish everyone went to Lebanon to see how it really is because they have no idea. And yeah, no, excellent. I love everything that you said.
@submission2tJoAnn, the food, oh my gosh, the food is great. The fresh fruits and vegetables, it's just phenomenal. I wish more Americans, there was peace and more Americans can actually go and visit these people firsthand. One, you'll really enjoy it. It'll be one of the best vacations. In addition, all the propaganda that you hear about that region will completely dissipate.
@submission2tI mean, there were so many people who've gone to Iran and come back. They're like, wait a second, these people are actually human. They're like, they're really nice to me. And then compared to what you hear, oh, all they want to do is basically, Dead to America, when in fact, when you go there, these people will treat you like a king as a guest.
@submission2tAnyways, I was blessed enough to go there for work purposes, not to Iran, but to the rest of the region. I was invited to a wedding in Iran, but unfortunately I couldn't go because I didn't want to go because my U.S. passport and all, I didn't want to start having issues. But in retrospect, maybe I should have. But anyways, it is beautiful.
@submission2tI heard it was really beautiful. But maybe someday in the future.
@joann_marieI've never been to Iran but I have been to Lebanon and also to Palestine and it's beautiful because everyone like in every store that you go people literally offer you coffee in their good China and they want to become your best friends and it's insane because they're like you know like and they treat you like your family and like you are like a lost sheep that went away and then you're coming back and you're like yes you're ours now come and it's beautiful and I think everybody should go there because
@joann_marieThe only thing I was going to suggest is, in light of all the conflict in the region, the one place that you could safely go to, I think, right now,
@submission2tThe Amphitheater in Jordan
@joann_marieDo you guys want to hear a crazy story? When I went to Lebanon, I was super little, and we were in the hotel, and there was this Lebanese person there, and they were like, oh, where are you guys from? And we're like, no, we're Lebanese, but we live in Mexico. And they literally invited us to the president's house to give him a present.
@joann_marieThe literal president of Lebanon, like, oh, come here, you need to meet the president. It's just crazy how welcoming the Lebanese people are. No, I wish everybody went there. So, yeah. And I know it sounds like a crazy story, but I swear it happened. Someday I can bring my mom or my dad to tell you because it literally did happen.
@submission2tJoAnn, one last quick comment. Another culturally rich historical location for me was Turkey because they still have preserved a lot of the historical sites, the certain churches or certain... I forgot the name of it, but there's a lot of history in... History as well as sites to visit. So that's another area that I've visited and saw it firsthand.
@submission2tAlthough the people can be odd a little, but generally they're okay. I wouldn't equate them to the people of the Levant, but generally they tend to be okay.
@thelevantinemanYeah, just on a side note, we're going to make Istanbul Constantinople again. It's going to go back to the Orthodox Christians. Just saying. I'm just joking. We never know. But anyway, Dr. Strange, 100%, so much love. And now you have me and we are brothers and you know that. And whenever you feel like visiting Lebanon, just know that you have a home to stay in, you have a car to go around with.
@thelevantinemanand any of you on this panel and the friends that are... Hey, I'm the one with the car. Yeah, actually, Heidi. Actually, there's three of us. I'm not going to mention the third name, maybe. Oh, actually, four of us. I'm not going to mention the other two names, but me and Heidi are going to be spending Christmas in Lebanon.
@thelevantinemanSo, yeah, 100%. And anyone is...
@submission2tI'm going to hold you to that ride. 100%.
@thelevantinemanIt'll be an honor, man.
Speaker 1I'll pick you up at the airport.
@thelevantinemanYeah, yeah, 100%. Okay, I'll shut off now. Let's go.
Ian MalcolmAll right, Paul, welcome. Go for it.
@projectpeaceThank you so much. Fascinating discussion, really. My contribution to it is to point out the obvious. Once again, you know, we're dealing with a nuclear outlaw, first of all, a genocidal Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy,
@projectpeaceWe're being distracted and misdirected and lied to and manipulated for the purpose of centralizing wealth. Whether you call them Bolsheviks or Zionists or Talmudic Jews, these people are out to control the world. It's not just the Greater Israel Project. They want to control the whole thing. And they're doing it They're successfully consolidating wealth and power through ownership of the resources and the media.
@projectpeaceBut what makes all of that possible is the centralized production of energy. And all of us were born into that system where energy determines wealth.
@projectpeaceThe system that we were born into is a toxic system. The resources we're using are toxic resources. And only people who have no moral code are willing to elevate those values. Something that is toxic to the earth, toxic to the other species with whom we share the planet, toxic to future generations. And yet that's what they base their wealth in.
@projectpeaceAnd that's not the only game in town. There are better ways to generate energy than fossil fuels. And there is a greater cost to fossil fuels than just the barrel price. And mankind has finally reached the terminus of this dysfunctional system where we're no longer willing to accept that we have to go kill people for a gallon of gas.
@projectpeaceFor Christ's sake, how long is it going to take before our species wakes up and understands that every gallon of gasoline has a blood price? And if there is a better way to make energy, then we should do that. I've spent the last 35 years trying to get people to understand that there's a better way.
@projectpeaceThe Road of Abundance
@projectpeaceof civilization. And unless we open ourselves to remembering what worked before we were all addicted to these toxic industries and the military industrial complexes that go along with them, because whenever you centralize wealth, you create armed conflict. Well, that's what we're at the extreme end of, and we're teetering on the brink of thermonuclear collapse and systemic collapse, not only social collapse, but environmental and economic.
@projectpeaceUnfortunately, there is a remedy, and it can be summed up in three words. Respect for nature. Respect for nature was edited out of mankind's social evolution before any of us were born. And the toxic industries that kill this planet were made the foundation of our global economic system. Whoops, big mistake, big mistake.
@projectpeaceBut there is a remedy. The question is whether or not we are able to coordinate and unify The Unification of Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Druid,
@projectpeaceWhatever religion you subscribe to, the direct relationship with the creator is common to all of those religions. And what we've been given to work with on this planet has been squandered or criminalized. I've been a cannabis scholar for 35 years.
@projectpeaceI still have a hard time coming into a room like this and feeling like I'm welcome. Because whenever you bring up a solution that people aren't familiar with, you get marginalized. I've been marginalized for half my life. So I'm very familiar with it. Yes. You said you're a cannabis scholar? Yes, I am.
@joann_marieThat is exactly what I did. That is exactly why I put my hand up for you.
Speaker 2Oh, sorry.
@joann_marieYeah, Tristellar literally did a space on hemp last weekend, so we do talk about hemp.
Speaker 2Well, this is about energy, though, and we're in a global crisis of diesel. Does anybody actually know what the patent on a diesel engine is?
Speaker 2Well, yes.
@ladyjustice9111Isn't it up to $11 now?
Speaker 2Yeah, but a diesel engine was not made to use anything that got sucked out of the ground. No. A diesel engine was made to use hemp. It was actually made to use peanut oil. Peanut oil, yeah. Hemp was the main one. Peanut oil... When he took it to the World's Fair and they said, I bet it won't work on any vegetable oil. So they put peanut oil in it and it ran.
@projectpeaceWell, you know, you're absolutely right, Rex. And thank you for backing me up on this because it's important for all of us to avoid the distractions. Oh, goodness. Are you okay?
@joann_marieLet's try to keep our mics shut when other people are talking.
@projectpeaceThe short story is that cannabis is the only agricultural resource that produces an abundance of clean energy and complete essential nutrition from the same harvest. So by growing your energy regionally, you're actually improving food security and nutrition. Thank you for letting me speak. Awesome. Thank you so much for coming up, Paul.
@projectpeaceAll right.
@joann_marieGo for it, Victory. Oh, yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah. Oh, okay. I put a thread about an hour ago.
@victorybardSo for anybody who wants to know more about ancient Lebanon, it's got five parts. It starts about, yeah, about an hour ago. So I'll just kind of give a little bit of a summary of it. So those of you who want to study it, I talked about the Armana letters from ancient Egypt. And the Armana letters were from Farah Akhenaten.
@victorybardAnd hold on, let me pull that up one second.
@victorybardOkay, so I think, okay, yeah. So I just basically just put in a couple pages of that. So it talks about the Armana letters and how they were written in Akkadian script and taken, you know, with the King of Tyre and different kings of Lebanon. Now, what's interesting about that is Akhenaten was during the time of, you know,
@victorybardMoses. So you directly tie in ancient Lebanon with the time of the Levitical books of Moses. And here we have Akhenaten, who was the pharaoh when the children of Israel had left ancient Egypt. And here they are now. And he's communicating with them in the Akkadian script. And so these are fascinating documents. If you guys ever want to go and study them, they're
@victorybardThey're amazing. The other thing I included was the ancient name, what Bolsheviks like to say is the Tetragrammaton. And they call it Paleo-Hebrew. There's no such thing as Paleo-Hebrew. These scripts are ancient, are Phoenician. They're Phoenician. And so I included two. So it's in the Phoenician text. Whoever went and what you can clearly see, somebody wrote over the name and they put it in the Phoenician script.
@victorybardSo that goes to that. And by the way, the way that they pronounce it, it's incorrect. All right. So that's the second thing. And then I included some scriptures starting with, we were talking about Baalbek. Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@victorybardAnd they're trying to erase our identity as a people and erase us as a people.
@thelevantinemanCan you stop calling them supremacist Jews or Talmudic Jews or the Talmudic tribe so people can understand that we're talking about the supremacist Jews? Please, Victor, because Bolsheviks is very murky to the average listener. Just my opinion. You can call them whatever you want.
@victorybardI think a lot of Americans, like I see a lot of Americans here, a lot of them are starting to understand who the Bolsheviks are.
@joann_marieBut just call them Jews. We don't really know too much about the Bolsheviks.
@thelevantinemanLet's call them Jews.
@victorybardThe reason I don't call them Jews is because they're the synagogue of Satan. But yes, but
@thelevantinemanBut hold on, Victory. We're trying to bring awareness to people.
Speaker 1Right, but I don't think that they're Jews.
@thelevantinemanThe real Jews... Who cares?
Ian MalcolmBut they say that, Victory, they say they're Jews, don't they?
@thelevantinemanYeah, they call themselves Jews. Whatever they call them... You want to change their names for them?
Ian MalcolmHang on, hang on, hang on. Victory, Victory, Victory. Hang on.
@victorybardI understand what you...
Ian MalcolmHang on. Is Jeffrey Epstein Jewish? Yes or no?
@joann_marieVictorine, I think you're muted.
@thelevantinemanMaybe we need to recycle her.
@victorybardShe's going to be, no, it's a Bolshevik. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a difference between Jewish and a Jew. Jewish doesn't exist in the Old Testament.
@nietzsche258918Is Jeffrey Epstein Jewish?
@victorybardHe's Jewish, but he's not a Jew. There's a difference.
Ian MalcolmWait, wait, wait. It's rain, but it's not raining. Is that what you're saying?
@nietzsche258918You used the adjectival form of Jew, which is Jewish. That is adjectival, right? So you're saying he's Jewish, which means he has all the qualities of being a Jew, but he's not a Jew. Help me out with that one.
@victorybardIt's a complicated thing.
@nietzsche258918I can't explain it to you here, but I just... Well, you let me know what you're having trouble with, and I will be glad to explain it to you. So what's so complicated?
@victorybardI'm a scholar. I'm a theologian.
@nietzsche258918No, I don't think so. By the way, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on. If the worst appeal to authority is to one's own... Never forget that. The worst appeal to authority is to one's own. If you have to claim to be a scholar, then you're clearly failing, right? So here, stick with the facts. Explain to me how he is Jewish, but not a Jew.
@nietzsche258918Help me out there. Just answer that. Tell me how he's Jewish, but not a Jew. Help me out with this one.
Ian MalcolmConference victory.
@thelevantinemanI'm on the edge of my seat. I think we need Jeopardy music.
@joann_marieBut we didn't mute her. I don't know why she... JoAnn does good Jeopardy music. Alex, I'll take $500 for BS. She's conferred with $8,200.
@ladyjustice9111BS for $500.
@victorybardSo it says here in Hosea 2.17, I will no longer be your Baal, but I will be your husband, I will be your maker. So God here in this verse is calling himself Baal.
Ian MalcolmWhat are you talking about?
@victorybardOkay, it's in the attachments.
Ian MalcolmNo, I don't care if it's in the attachments, and I don't care if you have a degree in hocus-pocus from Abracadabra University adjacent to Hogwarts. This is very strange. Why are you not comfortable labeling Jeffrey Epstein a Jew who is Jewish?
@victorybardYou're not changing the subject on me. I'm going to finish my point there.
Ian MalcolmNo, no, that's absolutely not how this is going to work. Just because you are now gaslighting me, and this is my space that you're welcome to leave, you either can answer David's question around how he's a Jew but not Jewish, or Jewish but not a Jew, or we're just going to move to the next speaker.
@joann_marieYeah, yeah, I think you, I don't know, Victory.
Ian MalcolmDo you know the Jeopardy music? Or maybe Wheel of Fortune this time? Or Price is Right? Dun-dun-da-dun! I don't know those! Dun-dun-da-dun! Come on, Victory, you can do it! Dun-dun-da-dun! Dun-dun-da-dun! Dun-dun-da-dun!
@victorybardThe Temple of Solomon, where God... No!
Ian MalcolmYou are not the next contestant on The Price is Right! You can get off the stage for $500 or should it be for $271,000. Thank you. You are not Alec Trebek. God rest his soul. Let's go to the next.
@joann_marieThat was hilarious. All right, Howard, go for it.
@submission2tHey, I'm going to call it a night. Good night, folks. Great space.
@joann_marieThank you so much for coming up, Dr. Strange.
@submission2tThanks for all the laughs. Take care, guys.
@joann_marieAll right, Howard, go for it.
@hubbard595628uh hey just kind of joined i did want to comment on what she was saying like uh when it comes to like jewish supremacy all that like they're it's kind of an umbrella term because you have zionism you can you could have bolshevism as a form of that but bolshevism is more like a form of communism but it's tied to that i do think like the when we use the term jew
@hubbard595628I don't even think we mean Hebrew. If we're talking about Hebrew, that goes way back. That goes way back. When we talk about modern terminology Jew, we associate it with rabbinical Judaism, the studying of the Talmud, and the Old Testament, the Torah, all that. And then there's also the lineage aspect of it too, with the Ashkenazim and then the Arab.
@hubbard595628There's the... Dr. Strange The Sage, Michael Rectenwald Ph.D., Bryce M. Lipscomb, Mandy, DavidNietzsche2310, Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@hubbard595628I don't know if he rapped...
@hubbard595628Michael Rectenwald Ph.D., Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@hubbard595628I don't know if that helps. I just kind of joined, but that's what I thought.
@joann_marieExcellent, thank you so much. That's what they call themselves, so that's what I'm going to call them. All right, I don't see any hands.
@nietzsche258918No, absolutely. But he's right about Jewish supremacy, and they can't shapeshift away from it, and so that's why it works so well. The second thing is we're judging people not by their immutable characteristics but by their behavior, so it's a straight-out invitation. To any Jewish brothers and sisters who denounce it, and believe it or not, they are coming out of the woodwork, so that's a really another good sign that we're winning.
@hubbard595628Could I say a little bit on that, too? Like, I do think I have my own religious disagreements with Jews. They're eschatological, they're religious. I also think there's, like, political implications, too, and identity implications, but... Dr. Strange The Sage, Michael Rectenwald Ph.D., Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
@hubbard595628I'm not trying to show for anyone in particular, but a lot of people who have gotten me to understand Jewish supremacy have been liberal Jews who reject Zionism. I know that there are still some of those people in that bracket who are anti-white or they have a different kind of supremacy, but I do think a lot of those people, I think we should be able to try to reach out and offer a hand to people who want to
@hubbard595628Dr. Michael Lipscomb
Ian MalcolmAround this idea that anybody, and I say this multiple times in space, right? Can a black, white, Christian, Muslim, Jew, or Gentile, right? If you're willing to stand in opposition to Jewish supremacy and to say, yes, it is a genocide of the Palestinians. Yes, that therefore makes the Israeli government complicit with the genocide, which I think makes them evil.
Ian MalcolmAnd yes, the reason that pretty much the entire West doesn't learn about that is because... The same people that are responsible for the genocide essentially own all of the media and all of the everything in the West. And so if Max Blumenthal or Glenn Greenwald or any of these other folks will come into these rooms, a special shout out wherever he might be in the universe to the account that goes by Bobby Fischer.
Ian MalcolmI understand he's Jewish and he speaks very directly about these things, which is lovely that he uses Bobby Fischer as his avatar. Because obviously, he's one of the goats when you think about it. One of the early people who saw exactly what was going on. He called it out. He said he was in opposition to it. And Bobby Fischer with his 190 to maybe 200 level IQ, one of the smartest men of the last century, according to Grok.
Ian MalcolmAnd his assertion was that the Jewish people were trying to take over the world and were going to use the United States to try and do that. And you look around today and... Well, it feels exactly like what is going on. So that being said, we will continue doing all of these spaces, trying to visit all of the places that are unfortunately dealing with the paces of Jewish supremacy.
Ian MalcolmAll the various faces that are running it. And I just may, I think is how that... Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore
Ian MalcolmDiscussing these topics and this idea of recognizing that this is a catalyst for evil across the entirety of the planet. This is basically engulfing everything. It's Sauron. It seeks to utilize the one ring that is perhaps dishonesty or lies and or just manipulation of the mind to control all of us. And just like in the Lord of the Rings, we got to band together.
Ian MalcolmWhatever we may be, whatever group we may call ourselves, replace we may call home. And so as a result, I'd love that we can have all of these conversations with all of you, that we can share these ideas. We've now done everything from Ireland and Scotland and England. We went over to, was it Bulgaria, JoAnn? Am I remembering correctly?
Ian MalcolmSlovenia. Slovenia.
@joann_marieSlovenia.
Ian MalcolmWe've got the Germans in here and now we have done Lebanon, right? So we are going to keep covering all of these various angles. And speaking of which, I know that we've got a number of spaces coming up the rest of the week. So JoAnn, if you wouldn't mind kind of just sharing with everybody what else we've got on tap. I want to thank everybody in advance of that, not only for this space.
Ian MalcolmWith the wonderful Raed, but for everybody that joined us for our, essentially our matinee showing with the one and only Rabbi Jeff. It was wonderful to get to connect with him. And JoAnn and I in the back channels offered that anytime he wants to join in a space, we'll certainly do exactly that. And speaking of matinee showings.
Ian MalcolmWhile we are booked all the way at this point until November, if there's ever anything that you would like to share, certainly send me a message or JoAnn a message or put in a comment in one of the spaces. We are happy to host anybody and everybody on everything to try and make the world a better place. And it is, our calendar is kind of packing up, but that's a good thing, right?
Ian MalcolmBecause what it means is that we're continuing to grow not only our voice, but also our connections. and our relationships. Speaking of, I put up into the nest, if everybody wouldn't mind, just giving that a little bit of love and or a boost. I don't mean to, not trying to, let's say, play with the algorithm here, but rather just bring this to everybody's attention because apparently Elizabeth Lane, who I believe is a shill and I believe is a cuck.
Ian MalcolmI believe that I called out that case all the way back last November, if I'm not mistaken, about a month after she blasted onto the scene and then was, let's say, kind of curiously, she was shepherded into Alex Jones's program, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson's, a couple other things that might make you raise an eyebrow when you recognize that prior to that, she was essentially an unknown voice, right?
Ian MalcolmThat out of nowhere got this big prominent ability to interview these big extremely prominent voices and that apparently came about according to Candace Owens because Elizabeth Lane just happened to send her a message she just happened to see it it's kind of curious for what it's worth but I will give Candace Owens the benefit of the doubt and as a result I took the formula that apparently was winning enough to garner a conversation with her in a formal interview in a sit-down fashion I've just asked Candace Owens if she'd join one of our spaces
Ian MalcolmAnd I would very much so, if we got that opportunity, like to just ask her with the likes of David Nietzsche and with Truth Teller and with Raed and JoAnn and all of you to basically just ask the question to her, might this be a bigger issue than just Israel? And might this go a little bit beyond just politics? And I'd be very curious for her thoughts on that.
Ian MalcolmAnd so, very curious to have that conversation. I don't anticipate it will happen, but I did find it funny the way in which I delivered that message to her. But that being said, as always, I just want to wish everybody a good morning, good evening, good afternoon, wherever you might be in the world. As we wind this down, I certainly want to say God bless, which is very fitting given the fact that we're in here talking about Christianity.
Ian MalcolmCertainly, Godspeed. We are going to continue winning on this. Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
Ian MalcolmFar beyond just politics, this is essentially the matrix that we live in. And it's time that everybody recognize it, discuss it, and to peacefully try and bring about a resolution to it so that we can all live outside of this insane Truman Show. Which, look, if it was a good show, if it was a beautiful show, if everybody's lives were getting better, then perhaps we could look around and say, well, they control everything, but maybe they're smart and they're clearly benevolent, so this is wonderful.
Ian MalcolmA word of positive affirmation from the always incomparable David Nietzsche. We can then go to Miss Mandy, who has her hand ever so politely up, and then we'll bring things back to Raed. And what I would love is if, Raed, if you could give a sense of closing or closure to the space, and then also a blessing or a prayer as we send everybody on their way.
Ian MalcolmSo with that being said, let's go to Miss JoAnn.
@joann_marieThank you so much. It was awesome. So we did two spaces because Ian took the entire weekend off and me too. I also got it off. But no, I miss you so much. So I'm really happy that we spent the entire afternoon here. An excellent, excellent space. Thank you so much. This is one of my favorite topics and it's like one of the closest to my heart.
@joann_marieSo thank you. The Chaos Tour continues. So we have on tomorrow, that is September 22nd, Chemtrails and Geoengineering with Dane Winnington. And he was on Tucker Carlson. He's one of the experts on chemtrails in the world. So it's going to be awesome. And then on the 23rd, we have Narcissism and Social Engineering with Rob.
@joann_marieAnd he's awesome as well. On September 24, we have Zionism with Critical V. Then on the 28th, we have The Spear of Destiny with Dr. Heather Lynn. I love her. So yeah, that's going to be amazing. Also on the September 29, Antarctica, German bases with Bryce. And then on September 30, The Antichrist Agenda with We're Forbidden.
@joann_marieAnd I'm so excited for that one. He's one of the... He's a literal genius. I'm sure everybody here has seen his videos. So very, very, very excited for this upcoming week. And thank you so much for having me, everybody. So yeah, that's about it.
@joann_marieWas it David or Mandy first? It was David, right?
Ian MalcolmLet's go to David, then Mandy, and then Raed for kind of closing thoughts.
@nietzsche258918Yeah, it was kind of a marathon for the two of you, wasn't it? Since you did two spaces back to back. Great job. And you know, I do find that more and more people are trying to figure out, I notice they're asking questions, they're sort of asking, well, where do we go from here? They're still awakening to the fact that it really is about ideas.
@nietzsche258918It really is about the idea whose time has come. I really, really cannot stress enough how far we've come in one year. And I love what you just said about, You know, someone asked the question in the last space, what about these other influencers? Shouldn't we all come together? And then I think that I said, you know, something would have, we need a confederacy of this.
@nietzsche258918Well, this is really the way the truth has to work. It has to work with all of us. And it doesn't matter whether a really, really large account or a small one. It really is about solidarity. And it feels great to be a part of that. You know, when I, when I was, I used to have a Labrador. I don't have her anymore. And I was walking around the campus.
@nietzsche258918I think I might have told you and JoAnn this. And there was this oak tree that was about 20 feet thick. And I walked by it one day and it just seemed like just sort of this incredibly powerful thing that I passed every day. And it had collapsed. And I looked inside and it was rotting inside. And it collapsed under its own weight.
@nietzsche258918And that is what is going to happen with Jewish supremacy. You can just tell.
@nietzsche258918Think about the fact that when you watch television, you're being told that you're a bad person. The commercials are making you ashamed to live in your own country. The educational system is like poking kids with a stick and telling them that they're bad people and they should feel guilty or ashamed just to live in the country that they live in, be the people that they are.
@nietzsche258918And this is all going to go away. You can't unimagine how much brighter the future is once we overcome Jewish Supremacy
@nietzsche258918Because most of the mathematicians that have ever lived are alive now. Same with many scientists and chemists and all of these things. We just need to be free. The fact of the matter is, is humans don't make good slaves. And we are enslaved right now. This is something that will not stand. The struggle of humanity is always between those who wish to be free and those who wish to enslave.
@nietzsche258918And clearly, we're going to win that struggle in the long stretch of time. Freedom always does win.
@joann_marieThat was beautiful, David. Thank you. Thank you so much for that. All right, Mandy, go for it.
@mandyarthurHey, so I actually I've only watched maybe a few of Candice's episodes, but I guess I was just watching the right ones. But she has used the word Jewish supremacy before, and she's even used it on X. She actually even used it on Piers Morgan. So there may be like if you use that word, it wouldn't be a turnoff. And that would be a great thing.
@mandyarthurYou know, obviously, I would love to see that interview. Inevitable China, Rabbi [guest]-Levy,
@mandyarthurand how Freud was into like, what is it? Basically kids, you know, typical Jewish stuff with kids. And then Bolshevism, she talks about quite a bit. So that would be a great deep dive. I just wanted to mention that I'd heard her say it before and it wouldn't be so far out. It wouldn't be that difficult to get her to talk about that subject, I don't think, but she hasn't in depth that particular subject.
@joann_marieThank you so much, Mandy. I've only seen clips. I don't know. I have no idea what she talked about.
@mandyarthurAnd then thank you for this wonderful space, Raed. I had come on here and I wanted to give my opinion on things, but I was just in a mode of learning the whole time. So I appreciate all of the wonderful knowledge that you gave. I always appreciate David when he talks as well. It's always like whatever little thought is twirling around in my mind, David seems to make it sound way better.
@mandyarthurThank you, Ian, for having this and JoAnn for managing it.
@joann_marieNo, thank you so much for coming up, Mandy. And thank you. You did such a wonderful job co-hosting in the first one. So thank you so much for that as well.
@thelevantinemanYeah. Thank you so much, Mandy. And a few things I would say, and I'll try to be quick. First of all, yeah, thanks, Mandy. And a side note for JoAnn and Ian, I did the deep dive on Freud. I was just looking at my archives. I have a lot on that. Maybe we can, if you haven't booked the whole of October, put a slot down and we will dive into Freud and the rest of his, all his school of thought and everything about him.
@thelevantinemanAnd yes, not a good guy. Anyway. Right.
@joann_marieHold on. Right before. Did you know that he thought that Jews and also him had like periods? He's like Jewish administration and he was experiencing it. He's a crazy person, right? He's literally an insane person.
@thelevantinemanYes, he is. And he is linked. I think his nephew was Edward Bernays, the father of propaganda, and also his psychology about how you're attracted to your mom and your dad and all that Talmudic shit. So, yeah. I'll message you. We can book a date and we will dive into that because I have all of it in my archives.
@joann_marieAnd for the people that don't believe me, I posted it in the Jumbotron. It's even in Wikipedia. You guys can look it up. He's just such a crazy person. This space would be awesome, right?
@thelevantinemanHe was a lunatic. And they sold it to us and we bought it. But yeah. The Pendulum is moving the other direction, as Ian and David say. That's one. And second, thank you for everyone who came and listened and everyone on the panel. And I would say this, when people like... Yeah, it is interesting information to dive what is Jews, what are the Hebrews, what are the Israelites and all that.
@thelevantinemanBut as far as we're concerned today with the shark that is coming towards us, well, like David says, you know, measure them or judge them by their actions. What I know today is that as a Lebanese, the existential threat, it calls itself the Jewish state. The people who are working in Washington and took the sovereignty of Europe and North America in general and the West, they stole the sovereignty of the West, called themselves Jews.
@thelevantinemanEpstein describes himself as Jewish as far as he was concerned. The problem with that is not because they're Jewish. The problem with that is the supremacist. Beliefs and view of humanity. They have this supremacist understanding. And it comes from their Talmud and from their upbringing and all this chosenness. And if it was chosenness alone that has nothing to do with the rest of humanity, it's fine.
@thelevantinemanLike, choose yourselves. Yeah, good luck. I mean, yeah, fine. Whatever. Have at it. The problem is the supremacist aspect of hating the rest of us. Not only hating the rest of us, conspiring against the rest of us. Actively conspiring against the rest of us. And we see it. We see what they're doing. We're like, we're weak.
@thelevantinemanWe see you. You know what I mean? Like, we see you. And that is what's beautiful about these spaces, Ian. So much appreciation. Sometimes I think about it like X can be huge. I could have come into X and not met you guys, but it is us. And I call people who just wake up because let's face it, not everyone needs to wake up or not everyone should wake up and some people will not wake up.
@thelevantinemanIt just takes a little minority of us.
@thelevantinemanIt's not Jewish alone. If the Jews didn't have a supremacist ideology about them and they are conspiring against us, then we will not have a problem. And I also always like to say that many of that tribe and especially the new generations might have different views and we would love them and welcome them amongst us. As long as you don't think of yourself that somewhere you're more valuable than me, well, then you're my brother in humanity regardless.
@thelevantinemanI would leave with that.
@thelevantinemanThe truth is on our side and the trend only shows that we will win other than that we believe that at the end of the day these are the enemies of God and yeah, you want to come against God, good luck. And I love you all and thanks Ian one more time. and all of you on the panel, David, another brother from another mother, as well as Ian, JoAnn, the rest of you, Heidi.
@thelevantinemanYeah, God bless you all.
@joann_marieJust really quick, and also to Dank, who put all of Ian's work in Rumble, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and on IanMalcolm84, and he's an absolute superstar. Also in Malcolm's spaces, so thank you so much, Dank, and please show him some love. I forgot to mention him in the entire space today, so I'm so sorry, Dank, but we love you so much.
@joann_marieOkay, sorry.
Ian MalcolmYeah, no, we absolutely do, and the allegedly dank is one of a kind. He is invaluable, as are all these other individuals that are creating content in a multitude, in a myriad of ways, right? And we've got the unbelievable JoAnn who spends so much time with us co-hosting these spaces. I sincerely could not do them without her.
Ian MalcolmI couldn't keep track of the conversations we're going to have. Dr. Strange The Sage, Michael Rectenwald Ph.D., Rabbi [guest]-Levy, Evermont King
Ian MalcolmI just want to encourage everybody, I know he hasn't opened up yet, but when Mr. Truthteller does, certainly go and give him some love. He's an absolute just wealth of knowledge. And so with that, I look forward to the spaces that we got lined up for tomorrow. And in the interim, I want to wish everybody, as always, God bless, Godspeed, and good luck.
