🔴 The Deviant Current in Mahdism and “Israelite-Style” Objections

✍️ Mostafa Amiri

▪️ There is a proverb in Persian literature known as an “Israelite-style objection.” It refers to those who know the truth perfectly well, yet lie in wait only to raise objections and find fault.

▪️ Several major social media platforms in the media sphere reposted a piece from our channel titled:
“This person is the Sufyani.”

▪️ Then some asked: Was that sentence declarative or interrogative?
We replied: Neither. We were merely presenting narrations. When those narrations are fed into artificial intelligence, it can generate various outputs.

▪️ Now compare these several images above — all of which are available on the channel. You will see they are entirely different from one another, even though all were generated by AI. That is the whole story.

🎬 The Oscars: America's Soft Power Factory & The Jewish Engineers Behind It

🔍 How a Hollywood ceremony became the world's most influential cultural propaganda machine

---

🎞️ The Big Picture: Oscars as Cultural Warfare

The Academy Awards are far more than a glamorous celebration of cinema. According to a detailed analysis by the Jewish Studies Center, the Oscars represent a meticulously engineered "soft power" institution—designed to promote American values, normalize the American lifestyle, and export a carefully crafted cultural model to the entire world.

Key concept: The Oscars didn't emerge organically from filmmakers' gatherings. They are the product of a comprehensive cultural engineering project aimed at establishing American cultural hegemony.

⚔️ The "Knights" of Soft War

The article describes Hollywood's key figures as "officers of America's soft war" —cultural soldiers like director John Ford, who spent his entire career serving in the "cinema industry division."

These "knights" dedicated their lives to:

• Building the quantitative and qualitative power of American soft power
• Making the "liberal utopia" feel real and attainable
• Embedding American cultural patterns deep into the consciousness of global audiences

The result? American values became sacralized worldwide, and the American lifestyle achieved hegemony —largely through cinema.

🏛️ The Birth of the Academy: A Jewish-Led Initiative

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) was founded in 1927 —not as a spontaneous industry gathering, but as a strategic institution under the direct patronage of the Jewish American community.

Key facts about the Academy's founding:

The Academy was founded in 1927 with its first president being Louis B. Mayer, a Jewish studio mogul and co-founder of MGM. The first awards ceremony took place on May 16, 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Behind the glamorous facade, its hidden function was to serve as a cultural propaganda arm of American soft power.

Under Mayer's influence, AMPAS quickly gained credibility and became the central organizing body for Hollywood's elite.

🗡️ The Oscar Statue: A Crusader Knight in Bronze

The iconic Oscar statuette is far from a neutral artistic symbol. It depicts a knight holding a crusader's sword , standing on a reel of film with five spokes representing the five original branches of the Academy.

Symbolic meaning:

The crusader knight represents the "soft war officer"—fighting not with weapons, but with culture. The Art Deco design reflects the era's aesthetic while concealing a deeper ideological mission. The film reel base reminds us that cinema is the weapon.

The knight's sword is not decorative —it symbolizes the ideological battle waged through entertainment.

🌍 Historical Context: Why Hollywood Won

The article places Hollywood's rise within the geopolitical shift following World War I (1914-1918). While Europe was devastated, the U.S. remained physically untouched and economically booming.

Key advantages the U.S. exploited:

Neutrality for most of WWI, entering only in 1917 with minimal damage
Massive domestic market that sustained studios during global turmoil
Global distribution networks established while European cinema was crippled
No post-war reconstruction burden —unlike France, Germany, or Britain

By the 1920s, American studios had captured world markets and were perfectly positioned to become the global standard.

---

🧠 The Deeper Mission: Engineering Consent

The Oscars serve as a format —a template for how cinema should be made, valued, and celebrated worldwide. This template:

• Defines what "good cinema" means (technical excellence, individual achievement, emotional storytelling)
• Rewards films that align with American values (individualism, consumerism, liberal democracy)
• Creates global aspiration toward Hollywood's model
• Trains international filmmakers to think within American frameworks

The result? Even films critical of America often reinforce American storytelling norms —a profound form of cultural hegemony.

---

🔥 Conclusion: The Oscars as Ideological Battleground

The Academy Awards are not just about art. They are:

"A product of the transition from World War I to World War II—a period when the weight of new media, especially cinema, became clear, and its first major, culture-transforming manifestation was displayed within the newly established society called the United States of America."

Understanding this helps explain:

• Why Hollywood films dominate globally
• Why American cultural values feel "universal"
• Why the Oscars remain the most prestigious film awards despite criticism

🔴 The Tenth Heifer / An Israeli Minister and His Children

✍️ Mostafa Amiri

▪️ An Israeli minister takes his children to see the Jewish red heifers that are being raised for sacrifice in preparation for the construction of the Third Temple of Solomon.

▪️ They are waiting for the tenth heifer. Supposedly, after that, the “Messianic era” will begin.

▪️ Don’t laugh — this is being presented seriously. Watch the video.

Israel’s Minister of Heritage, Amichai Eliyahu, visited a farm where red heifers are being bred for rituals connected to the rebuilding of Solomon’s Temple.

▪️ The story of the red heifers holds a special place in Jewish tradition, as it is directly tied to the purification process required before constructing the Third Temple — which, according to certain claims, would be built on the site of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.

▪️ According to the Torah, as interpreted by some rabbis, the heifer is to be completely burned, and its ashes mixed with water to purify individuals and sacred grounds. This purification is considered a necessary condition for restoring ritual purity at the site where the Temple would be built.

▪️ Throughout several thousand years of Jewish history, nine fully qualified red heifers are said to have been identified. The belief holds that the appearance of the tenth heifer will signal the arrival of the Messianic age and the rebuilding of the Temple.

🌙 A Night Reflection

🕊️ Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) narrated that Allah revealed to Moses (peace be upon him):

“He lies who claims to love Me, yet when night falls, he sleeps away from Me.
Is it not that every lover cherishes seclusion with the beloved?
O son of ‘Imran, I indeed watch over My beloved ones.
When night envelops them, I turn the eyes of their hearts toward Me.
I make My majesty present before their sight;
they speak to Me as though they see Me,
and converse with Me as though they stand in My presence.”

📍 Contrary to the common and widespread perception about Lady Khadijah al-Kubra (peace be upon her), her marriage to the Prophet took place when both were twenty-five years old.
(Dalā’il al-Nubuwwah, vol. 2, p. 71; al-Mustadrak, vol. 3, p. 182)

Furthermore, neither the Prophet nor Lady Khadijah had ever been married prior to that time.
(Manāqib Āl Abī Ṭālib, vol. 1, p. 138)

Reports claiming a previous marriage for Lady Khadijah contain numerous inconsistencies and contradictions.

📹 Commentary on Hadith
The reward for restraining oneself from forbidden acts and fulfilling obligatory duties in one’s youth

Ayatollah Haeri Shirazi (ra): How Does God Help a Revolution?

Reflect carefully on this principle:
“This country has an Owner.”
And always leave a parenthesis open for that Owner — meaning: include Him in your calculations.

Do not worry about managing what lies beyond your scope.
In matters outside your capacity, sleep peacefully.
But in what falls within your ability, lose sleep over it.
Exert yourself fully where you are responsible — and remain at ease where you are not.

“If you support Allah, He will support you.” (Qur’an 47:7)


Meaning:
If you support Allah in what is within your capacity, He will support you in what is beyond your capacity.

The American attack at Tabas was beyond our ability — it belonged to God’s domain, and so He sent the storm.
But it is not the case that every time we enter an operation, God will send a storm to destroy the enemy. Those situations fall within our domain. We give martyrs — and it is natural that we do.

Why?
Because God’s educational method is not to raise people to be lazy and entitled.

At the stage where you are powerless, rely on God’s power — that is correct.
But once you pass that stage and gain capability, you must use the tools available to you.

If an unseen hand had simply eliminated Saddam with a curse, where would we be today?
Nowhere. Nowhere at all.

We would not have had Qassem Soleimani.
We gained Qassem Soleimani because of pressure — because of long nights spent in war rooms, because of struggle and endurance.

The best help of God is sometimes this very form:
that He does not help you in the way you expect.

“The Best of Helpers” means:
If you can do it yourself, I will not do it for you.

Dr. Setareh Sadeqi on the The Electronic Intifada livestream.

From the Electronic Intifada:
It has been almost three weeks since the United States and Israel launched their war against Iran.

Having failed to achieve a quick success – and as conflict spreads across the region and impacts the global economy – Washington and Tel Aviv are escalating their attacks on Iran’s population, as well as its civilian, cultural and economic infrastructure.

Iran’s health ministry said this week that 18,000 people have been injured. More than 200 children are among 1,300 people killed in the attacks.

We are joined in Isfahan, Iran, by Dr. Setareh Sadeqi, an assistant professor at the Faculty of World Studies at the University of Tehran and a specialist in North American studies and Iran–US relations.
تا پای جان فدای جمهوری اسلامی ایران!

I will sacrifice my life for the Islamic Republic of Iran!

DID YOU KNOW: The Iranian leader is elected by the 'Assembly of Experts,' which is 88 members who are elected by the people to 8-year terms.

Dr. Setareh Sadeqi, of the University of Tehran, noted that as part of this DEMOCRATIC process, the Assembly MONITORS the Leader, and can vote to REMOVE him.

Yet here in the West, we're told sold the story of a "Supreme Leader" in Iran who is a "dictator" and faces no accountability. The opposite is true.
