    I’ve spent decades fighting against believing the conspiracy theory that “Zionists” control many levers of power in the world. It’s getting very difficult to keep that conspiracy theory at bay.

    Starting to accept the idea that there is a global order between the major religions that acts as sort of an international deep state… And it’s this group that actually does control everything, everywhere.

      Saying that Israel has a lot of power in the world isn’t a conspiracy theory. Your proposition that there’s a global order of major religions which controls everything is a conspiracy theory. I don’t know how you got from one to the other.

        Because major world religions historically created the states we refer to today. Secular government replaced functions that religion would provide to the masses. The earliest forms of globalization were largely based on religious orders. The evolution of the God to King to Elected leader over a millenium or so. All I’m saying is that the old world is still very much functioning behind the facade that the modern world has created. It’s not just “Jews control the world”, it’s an axis of Evangelicals, Catholics, Muslims, Protestants, and Jews. These orders exist outside of elected positions and officially declared government power. And especially in the U.S. with the political power that Christian organizations have, seems to all go back to this rooted power that has always existed. Nearly every major power, except for China, has a form of a theocracy controlling it in varying degrees. And these groups all clearly operate globally. That’s why the Saudis get along so well with the Conservatives… Or why the heavily Orthodox Russia gets along so well with the Religious Right. Why Israel is so close with that block of the right wing. In fact, behind the recent political shift to the right in many countries, you’ll find their organized religion behind much of it.

      Zionist are a lobby group like a lot of others. The error is in thinking they have more power than let’s say evangelicals or that they are doing it covertly.
