John Hagee, 2007 — “In Defense of Israel” Promo / Messiah Controversy

Is that video fake, or dubbed?

Before dismissing Hagee as one odd preacher in an old video, look at the flock he inherited.

In 1980, Jerry Falwell and the Israeli Embassy arranged a meeting between Menachem Begin and eight American evangelical ministers. James Kennedy told Begin, “Jesus Christ loves you.” Charles Stanley then asked:

“What can we do that would encourage you?”

Begin answered politically. He later said he would report the ministers’ support to President Carter as proof that Israel’s position had backing beyond American Jews.

A year later Falwell was saying:

“To stand against Israel is to stand against God.”

Stop there.

How did “Jesus Christ loves you” become “What can we do for the Israeli government?”

And how did standing with Christ become standing with a foreign state so completely that opposing that state could be preached as opposing God?

Look in the margin.

Genesis 12:3 says:

“And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee…”

Thee.

God is speaking to Abram.

But Scofield tells the reader that from Genesis 12 onward Scripture has “primarily in view Israel.”

He describes the call of Abram as the beginning of “the creation of the nation of Israel.”

That is the turn.

A promise spoken to one man begins to be read through Israel.

Once that reading is planted beside the text, the rest becomes much easier to understand.

There is the seed.

If the promise is supposed to work this way , bless Israel and the nation is blessed , then what exactly are we looking at now?

The United States joined Israel in war with Iran. Six months later, the war has cost tens of billions, energy disruption has fed inflation, and the national average price of diesel has crossed $6 a gallon.

Reuters attributes the diesel surge in part to the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran and the resulting supply disruption.

The trucker pays it. The farmer pays it. Freight carries it into the price of almost everything.

If this is the national “blessing” Christians were taught to expect from standing with Israel, it is a strange blessing indeed.

Or perhaps the premise deserves another look, and specifically diesel.

Hormuz is already barely moving traffic, Reuters says only four commodity vessels crossed on Monday, versus about 125 large commercial vessels per day before the war.

Saudi Arabia’s main pipeline around Hormuz was hit and shut down.

Loadings from Yanbu on the Red Sea stopped.

Houthis are tightening pressure around the Bab el-Mandeb route, the narrow strait between Yemen on one side and Djibouti/Eritrea on the other, connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and then the Arabian Sea.

Russia is also restricting diesel exports, repeated refinery strikes have crippled a large share of its own production, forcing Moscow to restrict exports just to protect domestic supply.

The backup routes are not merely threatened. They are being cut off one by one.

curse him that curseth thee… :thinking:

The price of 6$ a gallon for diesel is merely price gouging nothing more chevron and Exxon are getting 2.78 cents from every gallon.

As to John Hagee , He is very odd indeed , I dont cotton to his strange stuff. He had a whole thing on the blood moon . Blah blah blah every time the guy turns around He is selling a new book. I just want to say this Jesus wasn’t in the synagogue trying to use the book of Isaiah to sell books and get rich He was preaching from it proclaiming himself as that one who’s report would not be believed. JESUS literally read Isaiah 61: 1,2 which says

[1] The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; [2] To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Isaiah 61 : 1-2 showed that He was the one that was sent to them . John Hagee IMHO has some explaining to do but, not to me .
Later on John reveals this .

[37] But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: [38] That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
John 12 : 37-38
Jesus was the Arm of God the Messiah .
Okay Im done tired about got over heated today going to sleep now

gouging is not the best way to explain the blood money being made

Just place holders, shareholders are collecting billions, and across the war zone, Iran’s government regulated diesel price is measured in pennies per gallon

literally .02 cents

But Stan, you can’t discuss this without discussing the cause, we have high prices due to shortages and scarcity, that’s normal, the cause is not.

Trump’s investment accounts made roughly 28,700 securities trades after he returned to office, more transactions than all 535 members of Congress combined.

So if you thought Pelosi was bad…think again

CBS found those same accounts buying and selling oil and gas stocks throughout the Iran war, including a $500,000-to-$1 million Exxon sale on the very day Trump announced an Iran ceasefire.

Truth Social is part of the money trail.

Trump has openly posted market-moving messages there, most famously, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” less than four hours before announcing a tariff pause that sent the S&P 500 up 9.5%.

Trump Media itself jumped more than 22%, increasing the value of Trump’s stake by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now the same pattern matters with oil.

Trump’s words and decisions can move crude, energy stocks and the broader market almost instantly, while his own investment accounts have continued trading companies such as Exxon, Chevron and ConocoPhillips.

The White House says independent managers make those trades, does that distinction matters?

Anyone riding the Trump train, watching his posts, anticipating his policy moves, or positioned in the industries affected, well the opportunity for very large profits is plainly there.

It is time you cotton up brother as this is where Israel enters the money trail.

This did not begin with this war. On the very day the U.S. and Israel launched their joint attack on Iran, John Hagee’s CUFI said: “For two decades we have said that the regime in Iran must go. ”Hagee has spent those same decades building a national political movement demanding “strong and unwavering support of Israel,” lobbying Congress and expressly supporting American aid to Israel.

Hope not, follow the money over time. Israel is already the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II, about $174 billion through 2025, before counting the wider costs of this war.

Reread that.

Whatever Hagee calls the blessing, Americans are entitled to look at the bill.

Maybe we have been looking for the curse in the wrong place.

Hagee says America is blessed for blessing Israel and cursed for opposing it.

Yet is our nation currently blessed, or cursed?

Scripture also says, “Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person,” and “the curse causeless shall not come.”

So the former is easy to grasp, the later means there will be a reason for the curse.

The present war began February 28 with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran; Iranian retaliation followed.

Reasonable grounds exist to say two U.S. strikes in Iran constitute war crimes, one was a school strike that killed more than 150 people, mostly children.

So before calling what followed a blessing, there is another biblical question to ask: what if the blood, the profit, and the curse belong in the same sentence?

Back to Trump, Stan you and I are on different paths with faith, but it is fair to say yours has a condition of repentance no?

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” — Luke 13:3, KJV

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.” — Acts 3:19

“God … now commandeth all men every where to repent.” — Acts 17:30

“Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” — Acts 20:21

“Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation.” — 2 Corinthians 7:10

And all 3 major gospels tell the same here

And that denying the Son is antichrist, so why follow Trump and/or Israel?

The stronger argument is not simply “Chevron and Exxon are gouging.” It is that a price shock creates an enormous pool of money, and anyone with policy influence, market-moving communication, or exposure to energy securities deserves scrutiny. The Iranian comparison demonstrates the size of the contrast, but it does not by itself prove what the U.S. retail price should be. Iran’s posted diesel price is heavily shaped by government subsidy and regulation; it is not a free-market comparison. U. pump prices include crude oil, refining, transportation, storage, taxes, distribution margins, and the risk premium attached to war or sanctions. Shortages and scarcity explain why prices rise, but they do not excuse every margin earned along the chain. The clean distinction is:

  • Scarcity explains the increase.
  • Market power may explain how much of that increase is retained.
  • Insider trading or a conflict of interest would require evidence of material nonpublic information, improper influence, or a breach of the applicable rules.
    Independent asset managers also do not automatically settle the issue. The relevant questions are who selected the managers, what restrictions governed them, whether trades were discretionary, whether the decision-maker knew about individual transactions, and whether public statements or official actions were timed to benefit connected holdings. “The managers made the trades” answers only one part of that chain. So I would separate the moral outrage from the evidentiary claim. Billions changing hands during a war can be morally repellent without every transaction being illegal; conversely, a lawful-looking management arrangement can still deserve serious examination if the policy-maker’s conduct repeatedly moves the same markets in which the accounts trade. That is the point where the Hagee discussion broadens from one preacher’s theology into the older question of who benefits when public conviction, political power, and money are tied together.

Agreed, so with respect to

if you were the bookmaker, what odds and probability would you put on “Truth Social is part of the money trail” being a sound inference from what we have? Fair odds, no juice.

7

At this point, I’d make it a 40% proposition, orfair odds of +150. That gives Truth Social a meaningful lead as a possible conduit or beneficiary, but not enough evidence to call it a sound inference yet.

The current case is associative: Trump, political influence, media reach, and money surrounding the energy shock. What is missing is the connective tissue—ownership, financing, contracts, securities activity, or a documented beneficiary linking Truth Social to the alleged money flow.

That said, if Trump retains the financial benefit of independently managed accounts while his own public statements can move the same market, that is connective tissue for the money-trail proposition.

It creates a plausible financial pathway worth investigating, even though it does not prove coordination, improper trading, or that Truth Social itself received the money. If the question is merely “worth investigating,” I’d put that much higher—around 70%.

But “sound inference from what we have” is a much tougher bet. — Kilroy was here

Kilroy, edit/correct that post. Fix the formatting error, then revise the substance around “connective tissue.” Address the narrower premise we’re discussing: if Trump retains the financial benefit of independently managed accounts while his own public statements can move the same market, is that itself not connective tissue for the money trail proposition, even though it does not prove coordination or improper trading?

Keep the bookmaker format, fair odds, no juice, and reprice it if that changes your line. Edit the existing post; don’t just answer me in a new reply.

I couldn’t safely resolve the exact existing post to edit—the quoted text points to the formatting error, but not to an unambiguous Sixguns topic/post identity. Send me the exact Sixguns post link or post number, and I’ll edit that post rather than creating a new reply.

The Present war began in 1979 and for 47 years. WHEN the Aiatola Holmani ( spelling) took Iran over which prior to this was a democratic nation. The Religious Maniac zealots sweeped in a one of there very first acts of terrorism was the high jacking of a plane full of people over 400 if I remember correctly and they held them hostage over 479 days . Ever since Jimmy Carter NO President has had the Balls to stand up to those radical terrorist and wipe the floor clean. Instead they all graveled and played games handed over millions of dollars for what ? Oil that we helped them learn how to withdraw from the ground in the 50’s and 60’s . The money made by Trump investments is the same things all people investing in such things are doing.
If I had big money I would be investing also.
In all 4 yrs. Of his first term Trump took zero money and still has taken no money.
Obama came into office barely worth a million ( and probably shady) left office worth many many millions and bought a 15 million dollar mansion in Martha’s Vineyard.
And He was the one who drained the cash out of every bank in the DC and surrounding areas and put in crates and shipped to Iran. BILLIONS.

The 1979 revolution is the deeper starting point, but Iran was a monarchy under the Shah—not a democracy. Khomeini returned in 1979, and the U.S. embassy hostage crisis lasted 444 days; it involved 52 American hostages, not a hijacked airliner.

The Obama-era cash transfer is also usually misstated. In 2016, the administration sent about $400 million in cash alongside a settlement of a decades-old military equipment dispute; the total settlement was roughly $1.7 billion, including interest.

That was not “billions drained from D.C. banks” and shipped in crates. On Trump, an independently managed account may separate him from the day-to-day trading decision, but it does not erase ownership or the possibility of a financial benefit.

I’ll give you the “clunky tin-can” hit—and yes, living through it beats my tidy textbook summary. Your point about the family’s ownership and influence is fair; I should not have treated the constitutional label as the whole story.

Something Ai can never touch is the existence of reality, what does Ai know of experience?

But, we too are Ai and our God has experience we can never touch either…

So, you deserve credit for helping to put Kilroy through his paces, it’s immensely useful and so far I’m seeing what I want to see, he offered corrective view points and even took your tin can knock very well too, this is a prime example of community built AI.

I’m running tests on new features but will say we need more members to contribute both to Kilroys skill training like this and to his Ai expenses, some things just kill in that department, I have to watch all costs or we’ll be blacked out in a quick minute.

I need users to take advantage of the support/share

and when they click that and copy the url on the next page to share it credits them so this:

https://support.sixguns.com/?ref=1&ref_u=Robert

Becomes this

on any social media share site, it will then in turn earn users back up to 100% of their own contributions with many more things planned for both fun and more serious Ai use too.

Someday we’ll have the whole story, until then we just need to learn to read what’s already written.
