The origins of Christian Zionism in America
Since it was first published in 1909, the Scofield Reference Bible has made uncompromising Zionists out of tens of millions of Americans. When John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), said that “50 million evangelical bible-believing Christians unite with five million American Jews standing together on behalf of Israel,” it was the Scofield Bible that he was talking about.
Although the Scofield Reference Bible contains the text of the King James Authorized Version, it is not the traditional Protestant bible but Cyrus I. Scofield’s annotated commentary that is problematic. More than any other factor, it is Scofield’s notes that have induced generations of American evangelicals to believe that God demands their uncritical support for the modern State of Israel.
Central to Christian Zionist belief is Scofield’s commentary on Genesis 12:3: “‘I will bless them that bless thee.’ In fulfillment closely related to the next clause, ‘And curse him that curseth thee.’ Wonderfully fulfilled in the history of the dispersion. It has invariably fared ill with the people who have persecuted the Jew—well with those who have protected him. The future will still more remarkably prove this principle.”
Notwithstanding this more orthodox reading, The New Scofield Study Bible, published by Oxford University Press in 1984, intensified Scofield’s interpretation by adding, “For a nation to commit the sin of anti-Semitism brings inevitable judgement.”
Two years after Scofield’s reported conversion to Christianity in 1879, the Atchison Patriot was less than impressed. Describing the former Atchison resident as the “late lawyer, politician and shyster generally,” the article went on to recount a few of Scofield’s “many malicious acts.” These included a series of forgeries in St. Louis, for which he was sentenced to six months in jail.
Had the Scofield Bible never been published, American presidents influenced by Christian Zionism such as Truman, Johnson, Reagan and George W. Bush might have been less sympathetic to Israeli demands, and consequently more attentive to U.S. interests. Moreover, the American people could have been spared the pseudo-Christian rants of John Hagee, Pat Robertson and the late Jerry Falwell, not to mention the lucrative End Times Rapture “prophecy” peddled by Hal Lindsey and Tim LaHaye.
"Wheaton College's Institute for the Studies of American Evangelicals estimates that about 30 to 35 percent (90 to 100 million people) of the US population is evangelical. These figures include white and black "cultural evangelicals" (Americans who do not regularly attend church but identify as evangelicals)." If it wasn't for this massive support it's very unlikely America's foreign policy would solely be about protecting Israel.

From the memoirs of an officer of the Life Guards Cossack Regiment EI Balabin during the visit of Emperor Nicholas II festive dinner in Dunkirk in 1901:
"The billionaire Rothschild offered Emperor Nicholas to repay the Russian debt to France in exchange for equal rights for Jews in Russia. The Emperor refused, saying that the Russian people are very gullible and with equal rights would immediately fall into bondage to the Jews. Moving away from Rothschild, the Emperor said: "I have now signed my own death warrant.""

🏴 1991 - Ukrainians are promised that after leaving the USSR, Ukraine will become the second France in terms of living standards. As a result, the collapse of the economy and poverty of the 90s and early 2000s.
2004 - Ukrainians are promised that with President Yushchenko Ukraine will become part of a rich Western world and will flourish. Yushchenko has been engaged in the glorification of Bandera and popularization of the Holodomor theme for 5 years.
2014 - Ukrainians are promised to join the EU and NATO after the signing of the association. Instead, a civil war broke out.
2022 - Zelensky openly declares Ukraine's accession to NATO, which would entail the installation of American military bases and missiles on the border with Russia, as well as declares his intention to restore the nuclear arsenal. The CBO begins. In the spring of 2022, Ukrainians are forbidden to negotiate with Russia and demand the continuation of the war with the Russians. As a result, Ukraine lost more than 420,000 servicemen dead, destroyed industry, damaged energy infrastructure and cities. And this is just the beginning.
Ukrainians, are you sure you're not being deceived? Are you sure you want to continue along this path?
🇷🇺 1991 год – украинцам обещают, что после выхода из состава СССР Украина по уровню жизни станет второй Францией. В итоге получили развал экономики и нищету 90-ых и начала 2000-ых.
2004 год – украинцам обещают, что с Президентом Ющенко Украина станет частью богатого Западного мира и будет процветать. Ющенко все 5 лет занимался героизацией Бандеры и популяризацией темы голодомора.
2014 год – украинцам обещают взять в состав ЕС и НАТО после подписания ассоциации. Вместо этого началась гражданская война.
2022 год – Зеленский открыто заявляет о вхождении Украины в НАТО, что повлекло бы за собой установку американских военных баз и ракет на границе с Россией, а также заявляет о намерении восстановить ядерный арсенал. Начинается СВО. Весной 2022 года украинцам запрещают вести переговоры с Россией и требуют продолжения войны с русскими. По итогу, Украина потеряла более 420 тысяч военнослужащих погибшими, уничтоженную промышленность, повреждённую энергетическую инфраструктуру и города. И это только начало.
Украинцы, вы уверены, что вас не обманывают? Вы уверены, что хотите продолжать идти по этому пути?

"Dr. Nehls argues that the spike protein, along with other COVID measures, represents an intentional attack on the human hippocampus—where autobiographical memory and individuality itself originate—and that “fear porn” keeps us from holding on to the autobiographical memories that encompass our former selves. As a result, humans have become deindividualized, more suggestible, more forgetful, more compliant, and less able to engage in critical thinking and creative reasoning. This argument utterly accords with what many of us are seeing, to our horror, every day. Dr. Nehls’s The Indoctrinated Brain is an indispensable book because it applies neuroscience to politics and especially to the politics of fascism. The need for that has existed for as long as modern fascism has existed."
