Since I live in America and Donald Trump kisses Israel’s ass.
Israel maintains significant involvement in U.S. politics through diplomatic relations, military aid, lobbying, and shared strategic interests. As of 2025, the U.S. has provided extensive foreign military financing (FMF) to Israel, with active foreign military sales (FMS) cases totaling around $39 billion, allowing Israel to purchase U.S. defense equipment. This aid is part of a long-standing memorandum of understanding, though recent tensions over the Israel-Hamas war have led to increased congressional scrutiny of Israel’s use of U.S. security assistance. Politically, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has engaged directly with U.S. leaders, such as in negotiations under President Trump that culminated in the October 8, 2025, ceasefire deal with Hamas, which included prisoner exchanges and was brokered in Egypt. Lobbying groups like the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) influence policy, though public opinion has shifted: A 2025 Pew survey shows 59% of Americans now view Israel negatively, up from previous years, with divisions along party lines—67% of Republicans hold favorable views of Israel compared to just 9% of Democrats. Especially MAGA republicans. Overall, while support remains strong in some sectors, broader U.S. attitudes are turning more critical, with 53% of adults unfavorable toward Israel and only 35% favorable toward its government.
But with that being said…Israeli policies toward Palestinians have drawn parallels to Nazi actions, labeling them as “genocide” or apartheid, but these are contested and viewed by organizations like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as driving modern antisemitism, especially amid Gaza war protests. In 2025, such tropes appeared in anti-Israel demonstrations, including signs equating Israeli leaders like Netanyahu to Nazis, which are HYPOCRITES. Academic and historical analyses emphasize that comparing contemporary Israeli policies to the Nazis inverts reality and minimizes the Holocaust, with no evidence of Jewish support for Nazi ideologies.
Of course recently there’s been a lot of people living in fear , “end times”, “mark of the beast” etc September 22-24, 2025, marked Rosh Hashanah (also known as the Feast of Trumpets), a major Jewish holiday symbolizing the Jewish New Year with shofar blasts supposed to be about judgment. During this period, there was significant online buzz among some Christian communities about the “Rapture”—a belief in certain evangelical circles that faithful Christians will be suddenly taken to heaven before end-times tribulations. Pastors and influencers, including figures like Dr. Barry Awe and Gabe Poirot, cited visions, biblical prophecies (e.g., linking trumpets to 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17), and the holiday’s timing as signs of an imminent Rapture, sparking viral videos and discussions on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and X. Man if the rapture was real I’d gladly support it so the damn loonies would leave….
Predictions included claims of revelations pointing to this exact window, with some tying it to broader end-times events? October 14, 2025, no such Rapture occurred, (darn it!)
Point of this information:
Guys, I’m aware this is about spiritual advancement but believe me I’m all for that but with politics involved and the changes being made I think it’s important to address it because politics sets out for us to be able to practice our religions and spirituality freely. With the other threads I mentioned project 2025 is very real and there’s a support in making USA a Christian nation or Christian nationalism which only appears as Nazism.
I strongly support power meditations, and staying away from brain rotting garbage on the internet because the enemy wants us stressed out and distracted for sure.
Politics can directly and indirectly impact spiritual pursuits by creating environmental, legal, economic, or psychological barriers. While spirituality often aims for inner peace, external political forces can disrupt focus, access, or even the legality of practices. Here are key facts drawn from studies and reports:
• Stress and Mental Health from Political Events: High political tension, such as during elections or policy changes, increases collective stress levels, which can impair meditation. A 2021 study published in Critical Policy Studies found that mindfulness practices (a form of meditation) are often co-opted or challenged by political systems, leading to heightened anxiety that makes it harder for individuals to achieve the calm needed for deep spiritual work. For instance, during politically divisive periods like the 2020 U.S. election, surveys by the American Psychological Association showed that 68% of adults reported election stress affecting their daily functioning, including reduced ability to concentrate during meditation or prayer. This external noise can lead to fragmented attention, making consistent spiritual paths more challenging.
• Legal Restrictions on Spiritual Practices: In authoritarian or theocratic regimes, politics outright bans or regulates certain spiritual activities. For example, in China, the government’s crackdown on Falun Gong (a spiritual practice involving meditation and qigong) since 1999 has led to arrests, forced labor, and deaths, severely limiting practitioners’ ability to meditate freely. Similarly, in some Middle Eastern countries under Islamic law, non-mainstream spiritual paths like certain forms of Sufism or paganism face persecution, forcing adherents to practice in secret, which heightens fear and disrupts meditative states.
• Economic Policies Affecting Access to Resources: Politics shapes socioeconomic conditions that influence spiritual practice. Poverty exacerbated by policies like welfare cuts or unequal taxation can limit access to quiet spaces, retreats, or tools for meditation (e.g., apps, books, or classes). A 2022 study in the American Sociological Review noted a positive correlation between spiritual practices and political engagement, but highlighted that low-income individuals—often hit hardest by regressive policies—report lower participation in meditative activities due to survival stresses. For example, in the U.S., recent Medicaid reductions under the 2025 reconciliation bill have strained mental health services, indirectly affecting community-based spiritual groups that rely on affordable healthcare for members’ well-being.
• Cultural and Social Polarization: Political ideologies can polarize communities, leading to social isolation that hinders group spiritual practices. Research from Psychology such as family or community ostracism, making solitary paths feel more burdensome. A 2022 analysis in Embodied Philosophy explored how contemplative practices reduce hatred in activism, but noted that political violence (e.g., protests turning chaotic) can traumatize participants, leading to PTSD symptoms that interfere with meditation. for an example Charlie Kirk…
So with that being said should we continue to do anymore reverse Torah rituals?
