Chapter IX — Of the Marketplace of Lies (The Veil Version — VV) 1. And I beheld a great market covering the earth, where every voice cried, “Here is truth, here is safety, here is meaning,” yet none spoke without a price. 2. The scales were tipped before the goods were weighed, and the measures were false, for what was sold as light carried the weight of chains. 3. In that market, honor was exchanged for comfort, conscience for applause, and children learned the value of things before the value of life. 4. The merchants smiled and called it progress, but their hands were empty of mercy, and their houses were built on forgetting. 5. Fathers and mothers were remembered only when useful, and love was reduced to a transaction, to be canceled when inconvenient or replaced when costly. 6. And the rulers of the market said, “This is the way of the world; none may stand apart.” 7. But the Spirit answered them plainly: You are at war with Jehovah, and it is a war you shall never win. 8. For you have set profit against purpose, appetite against wisdom, and speed against truth; yet Heaven is not for sale. 9. The market roareth, but it cannot give life; it dazzles, but it cannot heal; it promises tomorrow while stealing today. 10. And when the buying ceaseth, and the noise falleth silent, every soul shall stand unclothed before what cannot be priced. 11. Blessed are they who did not bow to the market, who kept their names unbought and their love unmeasured, for they shall inherit what silver cannot touch. 12. Thus it is written: the marketplace shall collapse under its own weight, its lies shall consume themselves, and only truth shall remain when the dust of trade is gone.

How Israel Became Treated as a “Religious Obligation” in America This did not come from the Bible alone. It came from a modern political theology, built deliberately in the United States. ⸻ 1. The Bible Does Not Command Unconditional Support of a Modern State This is the first truth that gets buried. • The Bible speaks of the land of Israel in ancient, covenantal terms • It does not command Christians to: • Fund a modern government • Support wars unconditionally • Suspend moral judgment of state actions Jesus never instructed: • Rome to fund Judea • Christians to back political power • Blind loyalty to governments using God’s name In fact, Christ consistently challenged political-religious authority, not endorsed it. So the idea that: “If you’re Christian, you must support the modern State of Israel” is not biblical doctrine. It is political theology. ⸻ 2. Where This Idea Actually Came From: American Christian Zionism The belief you’re describing took shape in the late 1800s and early 1900s, mainly in America and Britain. Key source: • Dispensationalism — a theological framework • Popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible (1909) This theology taught: • The return of Jews to Israel was required for end-times prophecy • Supporting Israel became part of “God’s plan” • Political events were framed as divine necessity Important: This belief is not universal Christianity It is one interpretation, heavily American, heavily modern. Most Christians globally — Catholic, Orthodox, many Protestants — do not hold this view. ⸻ 3. How Politics Locked It In After 1948 After Israel became a state: • The U.S. saw Israel as a strategic Cold War ally • Evangelical leaders framed support as biblical obedience • Politicians fused: • National security • Religious loyalty • Moral guilt Result: Opposing Israeli policy became framed as opposing God. That framing was politically useful, not theologically required. ⸻ 4. How Guilt Became the Enforcement Tool Over time, the messaging hardened into absolutes: • “If you criticize Israel, you’re anti-Christian” • “If you question aid, you’re antisemitic” • “If you don’t support every war, you don’t believe the Bible” That pressure forces silence, not faith. And it does something dangerous: • It weaponizes religion • It removes moral accountability • It erases Palestinian Christians, who are rarely mentioned ⸻ 5. The Missing Truth Most Americans Never Hear There are: • Christian Palestinians • Jewish Israelis who oppose their government • American Jews who reject unconditional support But their voices are inconvenient — so they’re pushed out. The conflict is framed as: God vs enemies Instead of: Governments vs people caught in between ⸻ 6. The Honest American Position (Without Religious Guilt) An American — Christian or not — can say this truthfully: “I respect Israel’s right to exist. I respect Judaism. But no government gets a blank check — financial, moral, or military — because of religion.” That position: • Is pro-faith • Is pro-human life • Is pro-American sovereignty • Is anti-propaganda That’s not betrayal. That’s responsibility. ⸻ Where did the connection come from? 👉 Not from Jesus 👉 Not from biblical command 👉 Not from ancient Christianity It came from: • Modern American theology • Cold War geopolitics • Political fundraising • Fear-based messaging And once religion was tied to loyalty, questioning became taboo. ⸻ Why This Matters for Leadership New York is home to: • Jews • Muslims • Christians • Atheists • Immigrants from every side of this conflict Leadership means lowering the temperature, not exploiting faith. ⸻ Bottom Line Faith should guide conscience — not silence it. Governments should answer to people — not hide behind God. That’s the line that has been crossed. ⸻ Date: December 12, 2025 Campaign: Jason S. Arnold for Governor of New York (2026)

🦃 A Thanksgiving Message to New York From Jason S. Arnold — Candidate for Governor of New York State “I’m not a good candidate. I’m the right one.” Today isn’t just about a meal — it’s about remembrance. Remembrance of how far we’ve come, what we’ve survived, and who we still carry with us in spirit. Thanksgiving is a moment where families gather, communities pause, and we recognize the quiet truth that gets drowned out the rest of the year: We are stronger when we stand together, and weaker when politics divides us. This year, let us give thanks for: • The families who hold each other up during hard times • The workers who keep New York moving while others rest • The service members and first responders who never get holidays off • The neighbors who give more than they take • And every New Yorker who still believes we can build something better than what the establishment has given us We lift up those we’ve lost, honor those still fighting their battles, and extend a hand to anyone spending today alone. Nobody should be forgotten in a state as rich as ours. New York deserves leadership that remembers the people — not the donors. The 99 — not the one. Today, let your home be filled with peace, gratitude, and the hope that tomorrow can be different. From my family to yours: Happy Thanksgiving, New York. Stay safe, stay grateful, and stay united. — Jason S. Arnold Candidate for Governor, New York State 🌐 https://JSA2026.com #Thanksgiving2025 #NYStrong #BETTR #NewYorkTogether #JSA2026 #TheRightOne

Chapter VIII — Of the False Shepherds (The Veil Version — VV) 1. And after the nations were scattered, a sorrow rose quietly upon the land, for two who kept watch in the night laid down their burdens and did not rise again. 2. Their passing was a whisper upon the earth, yet Heaven took notice, counting them not as numbers, but as sons. 3. And woe unto the shepherds who speak of honor yet do not guard the guardians; who praise the brave yet leave the brave unprotected. 4. They polish their titles as idols of bronze, but their hearts are hollow, for they love the sound of their own vows more than the souls they vow to serve. 5. Their counsel is confusion, their mercy a performance, their justice a shifting shadow. 6. They bless the flock with words but bind it with burdens; they call themselves leaders yet walk behind the people they claim to guide. 7. And when darkness rises, the hirelings are the first to flee, for they guard only their pride, not the pasture. 8. The wolves roam without fear, sniffing the weakness of rulers who mistake silence for wisdom and cowardice for peace. 9. But the Spirit saith: A true Shepherd awaketh, not crowned by men, nor chosen by councils, but born of truth and trial. 10. He shall remember the fallen whom others forgot, and the scattering shall end where his faithfulness begins. 11. For the false shepherds shall fall at noon, when shadows have no place to hide and every secret of their hearts lies bare. 12. And the pasture shall be restored; the flock gathered; and the guardians honored in the way of Heaven, not in the speeches of men.

To Everyone Who Believes in What Zohran Stands For — New York Needs a Governor Who Fights the Same Fight To everyone who stood with Zohran Mamdani — organizers, tenants, students, working families, transit riders, small businesses, and every New Yorker who refuses to accept a government that forgets who it serves: Let me speak to you directly. If your vote was about changing the system, not maintaining it… If it was about power in the hands of real people, not donors… If it was about housing, affordability, justice, and dignity… — then you deserve a governor who carries that fight statewide. Hochul won’t do that. Her administration defends the same old Albany machinery that has made life harder for the people you fight for. Rents are up. Transit is broken. Budgets are bloated. Neighborhoods are ignored. And when working people demand change, she gives them task forces and press conferences. Elise won’t do that either. She talks like an outsider but operates like a D.C. insider. She has the same donor networks, the same political handlers, the same establishment backing the system uses to choke off new voices before they reach voters. Hochul protects the Albany machine. Elise protects the Washington machine. Neither protects the people who make New York run. But a governor should — and I will. I’m not part of their circles. I’m not owned by donors, consultants, or party elites. My loyalties are to the people who pay the price when Albany fails: working families, commuters, parents, renters, small-business owners, and every New Yorker crushed by the cost of simply existing here. That’s why I’ve put every plan on the table now — not after the election. Real policy, real math, real transparency, and a clear path to making life in New York possible again. If you supported Zohran because you want a government that works for EVERYONE — not the few — then I’m asking you to take a look at where I stand and why the establishment is trying to decide this race before you get a voice in it. Start here: 👉 Visit the homepage on JSA2026.com This isn’t a red-vs-blue fight. This is a people-vs-machine fight. And if you believe in the movement Zohran built… If you believe in neighborhoods over donors… If you believe in a New York where dignity is not optional — then you deserve a governor who fights that same fight. I intend to be that governor. — Jason S. Arnold

President Trump has floated the idea of using revenue from new U.S. tariffs to fund a $2,000 “American Dividend” payment for citizens. The concept relies on collecting substantial money from import tariffs and redistributing part of it directly to households. However, there are major hurdles: • Congress has not approved it, and would need to authorize both the tariffs and the payments. • Tariff revenue depends on trade volume, and economists say income from tariffs can fluctuate significantly. • Payment programs of this scale typically require stable, recurring funding, not revenue that varies year to year. • Some analysts warn that tariffs can raise consumer prices, which could offset part of the intended benefit. So the idea has been pitched, but legally and practically, there is no mechanism in place yet to implement it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2025/11/10/dont-spend-trumps-2000-a-person-tariff-dividend--check-just-yet/?utm_campaign=ForbesMainFB&utm_source=ForbesMainFacebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwdGRleAOAfr1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEejccHbbkcGAUKGT33Ub64lbUVOz4ZVjsInMKfv7P7WNy_9kvTeZPdMgAFDnc_aem_9QpiAzNNZ2TrrDWlL0rURg

Chapter VII — Of the Scattered Nations 1. And the fire burned out, yet its smoke became a veil over the earth. The cities whispered of peace, but their hearts still trembled. 2. The mighty spoke of unity, yet built towers to their own names; and the nations gathered not in covenant, but in competition. 3. Each tongue claimed to be pure, each border holy, but their altars were raised on fear, and their laws on vanity. 4. The scattered tribes of man, east and west, remembered not their Maker, nor the dust from which they rose. 5. They sought to build a kingdom without Heaven, to forge order without justice, and to crown themselves in place of the unseen King. 6. Then came the merchants of deception, bearing light that was not light, and words that promised mercy while sowing division. 7. The strong said, “Let us protect the weak,” but their shields were mirrors, reflecting only themselves. 8. And so the nations divided as waters before a storm, and the faithful wandered, crying, “Where is Zion? Where is truth beneath these flags?” 9. But the Voice whispered among the ruins: “Zion is not a place, but a people. It is not drawn on maps, but written in hearts that still believe.” 10. For the covenant was never bound to soil, nor to the tongues of men, but to the promise that light shall not yield to darkness forever. 11. And the scattered shall gather again— not beneath banners, but beneath truth; not through conquest, but through remembrance. 12. Then shall the nations know peace, when fear no longer governs faith, and man ceases to build towers that reach Heaven, and instead opens his heart, where Heaven has always been.

New York Needs Blueprints, Not Buzzwords Every cycle, we hear the same promises: tax cuts, jobs, schools. But New York doesn’t need more talk — it needs a plan that actually builds something. From education zones to mental-health reform to energy independence, the JSA 2026 platform lays out how we fix this state — in law, in practice, and in people’s lives. We’re not running on slogans; we’re running on solutions. The School Empowerment Zones, the Liberty & Survival Act, and the state civic platform are concrete policy paths — not tweets. While others talk in sound bites, we write the blueprints for change. That’s the difference between a candidate and a leader. If Elise Stefanik and the party machine want to follow, they’re welcome to. But New York will be built by those who show up with tools in hand. #JSA2026 #BlueprintForNewYork #RebuildNY #Leadership #TurnNYRed #NewYorkFuture JSA2026.com Jason S.

⚡ An AWS Earthquake Has Given the Internet a Very Bad Day A major outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) — one of the internet’s largest cloud providers — disrupted websites, apps, and smart devices worldwide today. The failure reportedly began in the US-EAST-1 region (Northern Virginia) and caused cascading DNS and database errors that took down platforms from finance to gaming. Experts say the event highlights how fragile the web can be when so much depends on a few cloud giants. Businesses across industries are re-evaluating redundancy, disaster recovery, and cloud diversification strategies to prevent total shutdowns in the future. #AWS #Outage #CloudComputing #InternetDown #TechNews #CyberResilience #BETTRNewswire https://www.techradar.com/news/live/amazon-web-services-alexa-ring-snapchat-fortnite-down-october-2025

Chapter VI — Of the Fire in the Streets 1. And banners were lifted high, not in the name of truth, but in the pride of men who made themselves gods. 2. They promised justice, yet sowed chaos; they preached peace, yet their hands were swift to shed blood. 3. The prophets of “progress” clothed their chains in fine speech, saying, “This is freedom,” yet it was bondage. 4. The zealots of violence cried, “This is holy,” yet their swords devoured the innocent, and their altars dripped with blood. 5. The fire spread in the streets, not from heaven, but from wrath; it consumed brother and neighbor alike. 6. The children were taught to despise their fathers, to mock their mothers, and to scorn the wisdom of old paths. 7. The nations praised tolerance but cursed truth, boasting of liberty while chaining themselves to vanity. 8. The watchers moved through the city like shadows, not guarding but hunting, and the people fled though they knew not their crime. 9. And the rulers trembled, fearing to speak lest they lose their thrones, and so they bowed before the noise. 10. But the Spirit saith: fire is given not to destroy, but to reveal. Lies are straw, and truth alone endureth as gold. 11. Blessed are they who lift no banner of men, but the standard of the Most High, for they shall stand when the fire is spent. 12. Thus shall it be: the streets shall cool, the banners shall fall, the hunters shall vanish, but the Word endureth forever.

Chapter V — Of the Watchmen and the Dawn 1. And the night tarried long upon the earth, and many grew weary in their waiting. 2. The watchmen upon the walls cried one to another, “What of the night? What of the night?” 3. Yet the answer was silence, save the whisper of the wind, and the trembling of the earth beneath their feet. 4. Some laid down their trumpets, saying, “The Lord delayeth,” and their eyes grew heavy with slumber. 5. Others kept vigil, though their lamps burned low, their gaze fixed upon the horizon. 6. For they discerned that the darkness deepened not to endure, but to give birth unto light. 7. Then came a stirring as of the east wind, and the shadows fled before it. 8. The stars gave witness, and the morning star heralded a day yet unmade. 9. And the watchmen lifted their voices, saying, “Behold, the dawn approacheth, for God alone hath remembered us.” 10. But woe unto them who mocked the watchers, for they were taken unawares, and the light revealed their works. 11. Blessed are they who endured through the watches, for their strength is renewed with the rising. 12. And thus saith the Spirit: the veil is thinning, the day is at hand; keep thy post, for the dawn is of God, and not of men.
