Breaking Free
Written by Salim Maloof, posted on July 04, 2024
The Bible is one of the oldest known surviving books in the world. In the Bible, it is suggested that God created the universe and of all the living creatures that were granted a faculty, man was fashioned in “God’s image.” No one knows what this scriptural statement means.
Considering that no newborn can observe what God forbade man from doing in the story of the creation to not die, i.e., eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil [see Genesis 2:17] or take this cup away so only his will be done [Luke 22:42], the atrocities and massacres that the Bible suggests God ordered to get his way despite the resistance of others are not in any shape or form less pernicious or complex than the vice that people (mainly kings, chiefs, judges, officials, etc.) have committed to the present day to achieve one of two ends. One motive could be to satisfy God’s inherent animalistic tendencies since man was created in his image according to the Bible, and the other is to rebel against God’s prohibition against man rising to a higher level in the story of creation.
For example, God ordered that every firstborn in Egypt (minus the firstborn of the Israelites) be killed to bend Pharaoh’s will and compel him to accept emancipating the enslaved Israelites [Exodus 4:26]. Pharaoh acted similarly to how God is described in the Bible, attempting to kill the Israelite children to stop their population from growing and to prevent them from joining his enemies in the event of a war [Exodus 1:16]. King Herod I searched to kill Jesus to prevent him from threatening his own power (authority) over the rest of the Jews and ordered the killing of all the young children in the area where Jesus was born (i.e., Bethlehem). If we fast forward to World War II (WW2), historians suggest that the families/dynasties that were controlling Germany killed non-German children (Jews especially) to avoid a new generation of people threatening their superiority and killed mothers to bury along with the chaos that surviving mothers could create for the loss of their children. In fact, the old powers (Great Britain, France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Norway, Sweden, etc.), whom historians regard as the victors of WW2, killed millions of mothers and children during WW2 to prevent the Axis powers from becoming the ones who would tell them what to do. Actually, even after all the killings that our predecessors committed throughout history up to 1945, when WW2 was regarded as having ended, man was still convinced that violence is useful and that force helps the fittest achieve his way despite the resistance of others, as compared to other coercing methods, and continued doing what he does best, i.e., killing. From 1958 to 1962, the old powers or their heirs allowed the families/dynasties that controlled China to kill millions of Chinese citizens during the Great Leap Forward campaign. The heirs of the old powers allowed the families/dynasties that control the United States to kill hundreds of thousands in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2001 and 2018. The killing count in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war that started on February 20, 2022, and is being fought on Ukrainian territory between the Ukrainians and the Russians has not ended yet. The same can be said about the ongoing killing that the heirs of the old powers are allowing the families/dynasties that control the state of Israel to carry out against Palestinian children and mothers following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks.
As the above shows, the families/dynasties that control the international order and the money supply of the world (i.e., the heirs of the old powers) are refusing to rest from wars and being courageous and bold, as their fathers suggested they be doing in the aftermath of WW2, so people love them and would want to let them have more powers than others. To the contrary, the recent decision of the heirs of the old powers to entangle the Jews in deeper political uncertainties than the one that they are already in with Muslims in the Middle East since the start of the 20th century and to convert them into predators following the October 7 Hamas attacks, knowing that a good number of people believe that they are divinely ordained and supposedly a beacon of hope for the world, shows that the heirs of the old powers believe they can be successful where others have already failed.
All the societies (governments, kingdoms, empires, etc.) that did not pay attention to any human values whatsoever; massacred children and mothers to satisfy their inherited animistic nature; and relied on the unthinkable (tyranny, mischief, brutality, etc.) to rejuvenate their power instead of the rule of law were later destroyed, or their heirs paid this ultimate price.
This book tries to understand if the decision of the families/dynasties that control the international order and the money supply of the world (i.e., the heirs of the old powers) to not let their critical thinkers and servants (national governments and international institutions) rest from wars in the aftermath of WW2 and extend this tradition of killing children and mothers as our predecessors did is rejuvenating their power, or if it is giving rise (a reason) to their children and the children of their chiefs to be their enemy and source of grief as Moses was for Pharaoh and his chiefs. The main aim is to understand if the great confusion that the heirs of the old powers are letting their children and the children of their critical thinkers and servants put up with would harden their hearts and the hearts of their enemies until they destroy them and new families/dynasties start to play their roles or if they (the heirs of WW2) would be more powerful than Pharaoh, overcome threats, and stay in power. In other words, I want to understand if the only miscalculation in the plan of the heirs of the old powers could be children, as Moses was a miscalculation in the plan of Pharaoh, or if the heirs of the old powers would be able to continue to do the unthinkable and still acquire children, thus continuing to write the history books.
