What Makes Terrorists Want to Kill People: In Islam, it all comes down to Ishmael

Although there is a lot wrong with the Matthew Livelsberger case out of Colorado Springs, the Shamsud Din Jabbar killer from New Orleans, where both terrorists took action on January 1st, 2025, to provoke a terrorist incident.  I am very suspicious of Livelsberger because he was found with a gunshot to the head in a car that can drive itself—so given that he has been a Trump supporter in the past, it’s not quite the same case of Islamic radicalism that we saw from New Orleans.  In both cases, we are probably dealing with third-party characters who used the misery of these two people to perform the terrorist actions, leaving people to ask a lot of questions, such as what is going on at Fort Bragg that causes all these ex-military people to have a switch go off in their head and to turn into terrorists.  There is a lot there to consider.  But the primary question, which is a global problem, is why young people are attracted to radical Islam, and how does that religion generate the kind of hate that causes suicide bombers intent to inflict mass carnage against entirely innocent people?  As I watched hours and hours of explanations about how to deal with the problem of terrorists running around in a free society, it was evident that everyone was missing the main point in the matter: an irreconcilable matter that allows terrible people to use broken young men to perform their dirty work while the real perpetrators hide in secret societies and law firms plotting the demise of the world in a way that they can profit off of.  I think we are seeing just the beginning of this kind of psychological war, and terror incidents like this, unfortunately, have to be expected.  Many evil people have settled into government power, and it won’t be easy to dislodge them.  And ahead of Trump coming back into office, this network of scum bags will be complex at work to terrorize people into not supporting President Trump’s government reforms, any way possible.   

Before its release date, I read Jordan Peterson’s excellent new book, We Who Wrestle with God, over Thanksgiving weekend 2024, and I thought it was just fantastic.  I like what Peterson is doing with applying psychology to the construction of the Bible and its meaning as a helpful articulation of the Western World and why it’s so successful while other places aren’t.  It supports a long premise of mine that started essentially with the great Joseph Campbell, where a society’s mythology determines essentially the quality of life for the people in it.  Someone sent me an advance copy to review, so by the time of these terrorist events at the start of 2025, I had time to think about the psychological side of social constructs that peek behind the curtain of organized religion in a way that I believe is at the heart of the problem.  But nobody wants to look at Islam with quite the same kind of analysis, which then causes us to not have answers to the questions as to why Islam is a religion that tends to generate a radical element that wants to kill people.  And why are they so much different than the Christian or Jewish version of some of the same Biblical characters?  Given that, I think it is time we admit to ourselves why young terrorists like Shamsud Din Jabbar or the guy from Colorado Springs would entertain such a thought as to become a car bomber and blow up one of Elon Musk’s Cybertrucks in front of the incoming President’s excellent hotel in Las Vegas.  And it comes down to the heart of Islam in a psychological way.  Not a spiritual one.  So when we ask the questions as to why, the first and most obvious place to look is at the story of Ishmael and Isaac, both sons of Abraham, but one was cast away and became the central figure of Islam.  The other became the central figure of the Jews and Christian faith.  It all flows from the institution of marriage to the core foundations of all Western civilization.

As I pointed out within minutes of both terrorist attacks to everyone asking me questions about them, both of the terrorists had problems with the women in their lives and had been rejected.  And to a man, that rejection from a family member can be devastating.  Also, as a primary consideration, Islam allows for the marriage of up to 4 wives so long as the husband can show that he can support them all.  So, Islam has a very different view of what a marriage is than what is traditionally considered biblical.  When Abraham couldn’t have children with his wife, Sarah talked him into having a son with her hand servant from Egypt, Hagar.  She soon gave birth to Ishmael.  But God stepped in and made it so Sarah could give birth, and she soon brought forth Isaac.  And Abraham, under God’s counsel, cast away his firstborn son and his mother and made Isaac his favorite.  This act of being rejected by the father is at the heart of the matter among all Muslims, including Barack Obama.  They all have in common worldwide: broken families and a sense of being rejected by orthodox Western Culture.  That was the primary problem during the Crusade period as well.  Not that all Muslims are from broken families.  However, as an identity, you find that fear of rejection and their anger at Western civilization is the root of all their actions and narratives.  Islam was built around the first son of Abraham, Ishmael. At the same time, Isaac was considered the father’s favorite because he was born within the institution of marriage. 

So, of course, young men like  Shamsud Din Jabbar are going to be drawn to religions that have at their foundation an explanation, or an off-ramp, for why society has rejected them.  And it doesn’t take long for such young men to start signing up for ISIS terrorist groups as a discharge for the pain in their lives.  Not that any of that is an excuse.  But it does explain why people who feel they are losing at life are so quickly radicalized by a religion that features at its heart the rejected son of Abraham, who was born from the bad decision of the couple when faced with the crises of not being able to have children themselves.  Then, once they could, they rejected the illicit birth that occurred outside of institutionalized marriage.  That would also explain why Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, and it is proposed to have 3 billion people by 2060.  There are a lot of broken people in the world who do not have the advantage of being born to a loving mother and father under the warm blanket of institutionalized marriage as the West sees it.  And everywhere in the world that rebels against the notion of Western law and thought, they struggle with various degrees of Marxism, collective-based political movements that give the same kind of cover to broken people that the Muslim faith does.  Remember what I have been saying about Obama’s mom for all these years?  She was a lot like Hagar.  And like Ishmael, Obama had daddy issues.  And to hide that pain from themselves and the world, they become terrorists in lots of ways to fight back against the pain that haunts them.  In that way, they become monsters, and religious fights against them dominate our news stories.  But at its heart, it all comes down to affection for a father, and one was rejected because of an illicit relationship from which all of Islam was built to explain.  And the other became the father of all Jewish faith and the emergence of Christianity.  The hatred then becomes a kind of Cain and Able story where one brother wants to kill the other for all the jealousies that come from accepted institutionalism or to be cast aside and shunned from the love of a father where respect was so desperately wanted.  And is it that simple?  I think so.  And yes, there are lots of horrible characters out there who take advantage of these broken people and weaponize them for their causes because they are easy to manipulate in their depleted state.  And before you know it, they are blowing themselves up and trying to impose fear on what they think is a society that rejected them.  Then, with all the violence, power is distributed across the world in ways that many can’t get their minds wrapped around because they are so evil and audacious.  Ultimately, it is constructed out of jealousy and hurt feelings that trace back to why Ishmael and his mother were cast aside to fend for themselves.

BlackRock and the Kaaba Stone of Mecca: The politics of the ancient pagan gods of the spirit world and what they are doing now

What we’re dealing with in the early part of this 21st century is an ancient evil that has always existed. But for lots of reasons is more focused and more vicious than in other recorded attempts throughout history. I would say to everyone that religion is essential to human beings because people tend to fly apart without it. When we look at our governmental problems in America and we ask why it’s all screwed up, we can go back to Georg Washington’s inauguration and get a wise warning, a country that turns away from God will perish on itself, much like what happened to the Israelites in the past. To be a prosperous country, there must be an alignment with a positive spiritual nature. Christianity was the foundation of America and our laws, so the strategic goal of attackers wanting to undo our country has been to separate us from our foundations. And now, in hindsight, we have seen the anti-American forces using other religions, such as Islam, to blow on the winds of ancient conflicts to insight social change toward communism. And to understand that, a careful study of ancient religions’ foundation beliefs becomes necessary and essential. As we talk here, remember that during the 1980s, Osama bin Laden worked for the American CIA. And we never saw the body when he was killed for his role in 9/11. The troops who killed him killed someone watching pornography. But in this world and in that region, there are a lot of old people dressed in robes who have long beards in Pakistan. And we were told that Osama was dead by the same people who killed President Kennedy, ran President Nixon out of office, performed a coup against President Trump, tried to cover up that Covid came from China as a bioweapon, and also told us the election of 2020 was the most secure in history.

Obviously, we are seeing a military plot being performed by financial institutions like BlackRock, which most of us reading this have some connection to through a 401K plan. This plot is using our own money to buy up stock, propped up by our own Federal Reserve through quantitative easing, to become majority owners, and to drive all corporate management toward ESG, woke objectives. And it’s behind much of the ruin we see in 2023, from Disney to Bud Light and Target. But before Larry Fink was able to use BlackRock to acquire trillions of dollars of asset management, he needed an event to catapult his little company, oddly named to perform the task it would, in becoming the most significant money management firm in the world, which is now the first to operate within communist China. What you learn upon conducting a vast amount of research by asking the who, what, why, when, and where is that by studying a multitude of social categories carefully hidden behind the façade of religion, the kind of religious tension displayed every day at the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, specifically between the Jews, Christians, and Muslims, we are seeing the politics of the spirit world unfolding in strategic ways, and suddenly things start to make a lot more sense. The gods of worship by the modern World Economic Forum, of which BlackRock is a member and tool of aggression, are not Christian concepts. And an ancient evil captured by gods from the past coming out of that same Mesopotamian region is obviously working in the background of our current culture. American intelligence, finance, most corporations, and many of our elected representatives have been caught up in this plot, which is older than the Bible by quite a lot and is the source material of much of our misery.

I don’t think it’s such a well-kept secret that BlackRock, the company, refers to the Kaaba Stone in Mecca, which is the heart of the Muslim religion. It’s where the original dispute for most of the trouble in the Middle East started, the argument between Muslims and the Jewish people about which son was the favorite of Abraham. The Quran says it was Ishmael. Abraham’s wife was barren, so she suggested Abraham have a child with the slave girl Hagar. Ishmael was born, and he and his father went to the shrine in Mecca and pushed away all the pagan idol worship, which would have been references to Baal and the pantheon of ancient gods featured as the Bible’s primary villains. I’ve read the Quran several times, including most recently looking for clues about our current political situation, and my thoughts on it were that the ancient Assyrian descendants wanted a way to stop the adoption of Christianity by the Romans as a unifying force, to provide leverage in the region to destroy them as a military power. Muhammad wrote the Quran, which took many of the characters from the Bible and put its own “Eastern” spin on them, and it was promoted as its own unifying force against the newly created effects of Western civilization. In the Quran, Ishmael is looking to finish the shrine but is missing a cornerstone, so he looks for one. That is when the angel Gabriel, the same one from the Bible, gives him the black stone that is now known as the Kaaba stone, which supposedly fell to earth and provided Adam, from the Biblical Adam and Eve story, wisdom for the creation of all civilization. And just for context, the Dome of the Rock sits on top of the very spot where the world was supposedly created, from God’s own hands, Allah in the case of the Quran. But Yahweh in the traditions of the people of Israel. Think of Gabriel as a kind of CIA agent of the spirit world who is likely still hiding behind the scenes of the masks of global religions. And things start making a lot more sense.  Is Gabriel a MAGA Republican?  Does he share political alignment to Yahweh?  Or is he working a deal with the ancient Baal, Ishtar, or Moloch?  These are the things we should be thinking about and not assuming that all the archangels are………. beneficial.

Also, the Dome of the Rock is the spot where God sent Abraham to kill his only true son, Isaac. After Ishmael was born, Abraham’s wife Sarah, at a very ripe old age, found herself pregnant, and she gave birth to Isaac, who was the son of the official marriage union. Not a slave girl. So, this is where the Jews, the Christians, and the Muslims part ways. Isaac was spared from the sacrifice on Mount Moriah and went on to become the father of the entire line of the Jewish people. Ishmael went on to become the father of all Islam. And the reverence of the Kaaba Stone centers around the shrine Abraham built with his son there to push out pagan influences. But, the Kaaba Stone is the ultimate of pagan references, and we don’t know much about it, not even the Muslim people, other than it was given to Ishmael to place in the corner of the shrine in Mecca. There are a couple of passages from the Bible, Mathew 21:42 and Daniel 2:45, which refer to this black stone, so we are talking about something that has a connection to history in ways we don’t understand. And is clearly at work in the world now, if not literally through religious pilgrimage for the Muslim faith, but in the name of an anti-American continuation of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 where government expanded as a reaction, we had a massive financial collapse in the following years, starting in 2008 where the housing market tanked, Larry Fink worked with the Fed to buy up all the bad loans, then shielded BlackRock from the risk with quantitative easing printing trillions of dollars over the next decade, leading to BlackRock owning most of the wealth of America, and influencing most corporate structures. And we still have no body for the Muslim terrorist who launched the attack in the first place, the old CIA asset Osama bin Laden. And it only gets more menacing from there. So, what is the power of that Kaaba Stone, and what role did it play in the pagan beliefs of the region and the world? Where did it come from, and what influence does it have now over the politics of our day? Well, to say the least, it’s substantial. And regarding the CIA and the Muslim terrorist organizations, there is plenty of smoke to make rational conclusions, and for me, the giveaway happened when the FBI failed to contain the crime scene of the Christmas shooting in San Bernadino and allow the press to stamped through it just days after the violent attack. That’s when it was clear that we weren’t all playing on the same team or the same fundamental beliefs before Trump came along and forced everyone to show their cards in the light of day.
