Many people may not believe that the United States, the most developed, most scientific, most modernized country in the world, has tens of millions of citizens, believing that the end of the world is coming soon. Christ will come again to save suffering, to open a thousand-year-old prosperous kingdom. What's more ridiculous is that these people are not some border population, but a super political force that has always dominated the presidential election in recent decades.
It even launched two naval wars, the Afghan war, and even Trump's recent war in Iran. In this episode, we will talk about the super political force mentioned in the Trump program, and the past and present life of the American Founding Fathers. It all starts with Martin Luther King and Calvin's religious reform.
We all know that the core of religious reform is to break the church's right to explain the Bible. Everyone can interpret the Bible. Of course, it was good at the time, but it also opened the door for various reliable and unreliable interpretations, including the Founding Fathers' theological interpretation of the Founding Fathers.
After the religious reform, in the 17th century, the British Catholicism, that is, the Calvinism, was dissatisfied with the British Catholicism, because the British Catholicism said on the surface that it was getting rid of the Catholicism. In fact, it was Henry VIII who had a divorce and the Roman Catholicism. It's the other way around.
He replaced the Catholicism with himself. Nothing else has changed. But we all know that the Catholicism, as Calvinism, is a pre-determined theory.
It is chosen by God. It is chosen by God. The mission is to pass on the gospel of the church, to improve social reform and morality, and then to welcome Christ's re-establishment, and to establish a nation of millennia of prosperity.
This is what we call millennia. Millennium is how it came. This story is the core belief of the British Catholics at the time.
I call it optimistic post-millenniumism. Note that this concept is very important, and it cannot be described in words. When you watch this program, you must remember this concept at all times.
It is the foundation of the founding of the United States, and it is also one of the twists and turns of history from the colonization of the United States to the founding of the United States to the present day. We all know that after the British Catholics were persecuted, they immigrated to the New Continent in May. They established a North American colony in Massachusetts Bay, which is now Boston.
At the same time, they also brought the optimistic post-millenniumism that I just mentioned, that is, we are chosen by God, to come to North America to work hard to build a better society, to welcome Christ's re-establishment, to North America. The core of this belief is Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Reagan, Obama, and countless American politicians. A theme that has been quoted countless times is called the city of the mountains.
This theme comes from the famous path of John Winslow, The name is called the city of the mountains. He said at the time that New England would become a model for the whole world. It is the place where God's will in the new world.
Just like what? Just like Israel in the Old Testament. This is the door to the United States. The source of American faith is of course the theoretical basis of American externalism and American prioritization.
Because Americans think that the United States is not an ordinary country, but a stage chosen by God to realize the end of the world plan to come again. They were also chosen by God to come to North America, and they came to realize this plan. So after they arrived, they worked hard to promote social reform.
Everything is to speed up the arrival of a thousand years of nationality. Everyone is positive about winning that Christ. But this kind of society is very optimistic about preparing to welcome God's faith, but one thing has been completely changed.
What is it? It's Lincoln's war in the North and South. If you look at it from a political economic point of view, the war in the North and South must be positive. Lincoln successfully helped the capitalists in the north to grab the cheap labor force in the south, which is to become a free slave.
It is a great contribution to the subsequent industrial development of the United States. But what we see is that the war in the North and South did kill more than 600,000 people. It accounted for 2% of the American population at the time.
So many people in his heart, he made a mistake. If the United States is really a tool for God to come down again, why would God let us kill each other so brutally? This soul test directly broke the North American people since the establishment of the North American colony. As long as you work hard, as long as you improve your morality, you will bring peace and prosperity, a thousand years of national optimism.
At the same time, industrialization and urbanization have brought poverty, labor conflicts, immigration issues, and many people feel that the world is not getting better. How do you feel bad? So the Americans at the time fell into a moment of confusion. It was at this moment of confusion that the god of salvation appeared in the United States.
He is the teacher of the Bible from London, England, John Nelson Darby. Darby proposed a framework called the Theory of Time in the UK, which is also a novel interpretation of the Bible. He divided human history from the Innocent Age to the Millennium Age into seven specific eras.
In the past, the Americans just thought that as long as they worked hard, they could successfully reach the Millennium Age. But no one said how to reach the Millennium Age. What is the specific step? Darby came in this way, which is equivalent to filling this gap.
The specific step is the Innocent Age, the Conscience Age, the Human Government Age, the Age of Acceptance, the Age of Law, the Age of Education, and finally the 7th Millennium Age. He said that we have now reached the 6th age, which is the Age of Education. Jesus was born until now is the Age of Education, and the Age of Education is not like what you used to say will be better and better, but worse and worse.
What will happen in the end of this Age of Education? What will happen in the end of this Age of Education? There will be a seven-year disaster. Before the disaster, the real Christian is the rebirth. The concept of rebirth is also very important.
Several presidents of the United States have declared that they are reborn. We will mention the rebirth later. Before the disaster, people will suddenly be thrown into the air and meet their master.
The saying is to be mentioned. Those who are mentioned can avoid the Millennium Age. Those who are not mentioned will enjoy the Millennium Age.
In the first 3.5 years of the 7th millennium, it was relatively calm, and in the last 3.5 years, it was quite brutal. Antichrist, as you can understand, is the enemy of Christianity. He ruled the world, persecuted the Jews, and did not become a Christian.
It was in order to save the suffering human beings that Christ's second coming was introduced. Christ led the heavenly soldiers to fall from the sky and sweep all the earth. This is the famous end of the day war.
Then it can enter the seventh era, the Millennium Age. Dabi is not going to Japan to engage in animation, but to go to Da Cai. After Dabi came up with the seven-era theory, it was first promoted in Europe.
But we all know that the Enlightenment Movement in Europe is relatively thorough. No one cares about it. And to be honest, countries like Europe, including the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, actually lack the kind of exceptionalism of the Americans.
We are the chosen ones. That kind of narrative is the basis. So after Dabi's reaction, he decided to turn to North America from the 1860s.
What is the tree that dies and the man that lives? Sure enough, it was a blast. At that time, after the war in the north and south, the American people who were confused by the excitement and confusion listened. Oh, that's how it feels.
How do I feel that society is getting worse and worse? It turns out that it is not a stupid, optimistic, hard work that can welcome God. There is still such a complex process inside. So from Dabi to the United States, the stupid, optimistic post-Millenniumism of the Americans has become the mainstream of this pessimistic pre-Millenniumism.
Let me explain a little bit here. The so-called post-Millenniumism means that the Americans were stupid and optimistic before. After working hard to get this thousand-year-old prosperous God, Christ will come again as a reward for us.
But now this pessimistic pre-Millenniumism means that Christ will come before the Millennium to save us so that he can lead us into the new era. And later, this pessimistic pre-Millenniumism merges with the conservative theology of Christianity that emerged in the late 19th century to the early 20th century. What is Christianity? It is a basic doctrine that firmly upholds the five Christian teachings.
So what we see in pessimistic pre-Millenniumism is that the world is getting worse and worse, and the end is coming. How do we go from the sixth era to the seventh era of the era framework theory? What Christianity provides is that we must stick to the traditional doctrine and never compromise. The combination of the two is the underlying color of the white American Christian group we see now.
The predecessor, and note that it is an extremely firm and unquestioning group of believers. If anyone can mobilize these dead fans, they have to be president. But it's a pity that the original Christians were generally politically cold.
The key figure to change all this is called Jerry Falwell. He is a missionary from Virginia. He founded an American-history-famous political tax-grabbing organization in 1979 called the Daoist Multi-Sect.
This organization uses the existing church networks to register 8.5 million churches in the United States, 7 million mailing lists, which is equivalent to the micro-channel number of 7 million Americans. And from the central to the provincial autonomous region, each sub-region is a group. At the peak, it can easily mobilize more than 70,000 political leaders overnight.
That is, the pastor is involved in the political guidance in the teaching. Who should you vote for? Falwell uses this organization to fully politicize the American Christian In the following decades, Falwell has allied with the Republican Party to provide the core ballot box with a super high voting rate. Falwell accounted for about 30% to 40% of Republican voters.
But what's interesting is that Falwell's first so-called president was not a Republican, but a Democratic, Carter. Carter declared himself a re-christian of the Southern Conference in 1976. As we said before, only a re-christian can be thrown into the air by God when the disaster of the seventh year comes, otherwise he will suffer on the ground.
So Carter is a christian who has the right to be thrown into heaven. So he openly shared his Falwellian faith. Even as a Democratic candidate, he won 49% of the Falwellian votes, helping him to defeat Ford and become the first public Falwellian president.
But we all know that many policies after Carter took office were not so conducive. For example, the equal rights bill, not strongly opposed to abortion, let Iran's Khomeini go back to China, and colluded with Comrade Xiaoping, etc. So Falwell immediately began to criticize him and then turned to Reagan in the election.
In 1980, he spent 10 million dollars to advertise on Southern radio and television, attacking Carter for betraying the South and Christianity, no longer a Christian. As a result, we all know that in 1980, Reagan won two-thirds of the Falwellian votes, becoming the winner and ascending to the presidential throne. So from here we can also see that Falwellian voters are very pragmatic.
He doesn't look at whether you call yourself a Falwellian, but to see if you have the policies of our Falwellian. For example, Reagan's personal belief is not very sincere, we all know that he was divorced, but his policies are all Falwellian, including opposing the control of IS on this Christian school, supporting the prayer in the school, opposing abortion, and writing family values �𦥑�𤷫nto the Republican Party. President Reagan's actions moved Falwell to tears, promising that even if he is a devil's partner, Reagan, I will also choose Reagan.
As a result, Reagan won absolute support from the Falwellian in both the 1980s and 1984 elections. What did the Americans say at the time? They said that the Falwellian was simply the king of the Republican Party. And after the Republican Party tasted sweet from Reagan here, it also deeply infiltrated the political demands of the Falwellian religious right from then on.
So from then on, the Republican presidents, Bush, who won 70% to 75% of the white Falwellian support, Bush, who won twice in 2000, 70% in 2000, and 78% in 2004 when the Republican Party fell. And Bush also publicly revealed his reincarnation experience, belonging to the president who can also be left to God. The key is that he also launched the colorful Iraqi war of the Falwellian Moorish mythology.
This is the first overseas war with his father Bush, which was interpreted by the Falwellian as the feast of the Bible. Let me give you an example of Iraq. Saddam was generally interpreted by the Falwellian as the father of Babylon.
Everyone knows that Babylon is a very negative image in the Bible. Chaos, corruption, and eventually being tried, etc. And Saddam, this old boy, is also bragging.
He has long been the heir of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II. Didn't you give the Falwellian a testimony? So they said that Saddam was the 6th era, and the 7th era of the Church was the beginning of the Great Disaster in the 7th year to abuse Christians and Jews. In this way, Bush's father and son overthrew Saddam and transformed the Middle East, which is to clean up the Moorish battlefield, protect Israel, and accelerate the process of prophecy to welcome the return of Christ.
So just now we said that even if Bush has such a low support rate among the middle voters, he still won the re-election, and the credit goes to the support of the Falwellian. The same story of the Falwellian Moorish mythology. Trump is also a living example.
Many people may be curious about Trump's personal controversy. For example, Comrade Linao is not particularly modest in terms of lifestyle, right? Even in 2016, I don't know if you remember, there was a rude recording conversation. So how did he become the new god of the Falwellian? Isn't it all very conservative? Because Trump has successfully shaped himself into the God of Jerusalem.
The God of Jerusalem is very special. He is a non-completely devout pope in the Bible, but God used him to help his people release the Jews and return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. The metaphor of the God of Jerusalem successfully avoided Trump's personal life controversy.
Because the Falwellian said that God often uses imperfect people to achieve great things. For example, the king of David committed a crime, the apostle Paul once forced the church, Jerusalem is an atheist, etc. Trump is an imperfect person chosen by God.
We said in the last show that the war on Iran, including being chosen by God in the office, is all around this narrative. Because the Middle East conflict is now generally interpreted by the Falwellian as the war of Gege and Magge, The northern country of Gege, the Falwellian said, is now Russia, and together with Persia, that is, Iran, Turkey, Libya, and other countries, invaded Israel and eventually led to God's intervention to destroy these enemies. Trump's fight against Iran is to save Israel from Jerusalem, is to trigger the end of the war to welcome the arrival of the Jews.
And now there is a more harmonious group in the Falwellian called the Accelerationist. Not only do we have the Accelerationist in China, but also in America. They believe that Trump should take the initiative to support Israel, take the initiative to promote the conflict, in order to accelerate the end of the Falwellian, and welcome the arrival of Jesus again.
Instead of sitting here passively waiting for everything to happen. It's all about accelerating. One more detail, my mother asked me that day, she said, why did Trump use such a dark tone in his video of visiting China? It's not like the president at all, it's not bright.
I said, you go to the White House website, his videos are all this style, this president's makeup is also this style, the video that announced the attack on Iran is also dark tone. Why is this? It's simple, because he is deliberately catering to the religious aesthetics of the Falwellian. Deliberately infiltrating the dark of the Falwellian mythology of the Falwellian, in the dark, leading you to realize the divine plan of God.
Including the fact that he is now using this religion to name military operations, which is the same reason. The air raid of June 25th is called the Hammer of the Night, and this year it's called the History of Anger. Even the agreement that allowed the Arab countries to establish diplomatic relations with Israel is also called the Abraham Agreement.
As we Chinese, because we don't understand his religious background, it may seem inexplicable, but the effect on the Falwellian is actually very good. Falwellian support for Trump has maintained a history of more than 80% in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Now, after fighting Iran, it has almost soared to 100%.
So, from a political point of view, how do we understand the American Falwellian? Generally speaking, the essence of the Falwellian is a way of emotional mobilization to successfully transform the poor who occupy the majority of the uneducated into a model of political power. This successful model is now borrowed from many countries in the world, because the key increase in election politics to win unauthorized voting like the United States is how to mobilize those who did not care about politics and did not want to vote to vote. The core of the Falwellian model is a simple emotional narrative and a complex policy, because the low-educated groups or the vast majority of the people rely more on intuition, story, identity politics, rather than data or abstract reasoning to make political decisions.
In election politics, you have to get the majority vote, otherwise how do you win? So you have to mobilize the majority in this way. In fact, the Falwellian model is not limited to religion, but it can be used for both right and left. For example, the most popular subject of political research at present, the rise of the right-wing democracy in Europe, is the local optimized version of the Falwellian model.
Through anti-immigrant, local priority, these slogans are mobilized, so many uneducated people who did not know anything about politics come to participate in politics. And so firm, so passionate, for example, the British Reform Party, I personally think it is quite remarkable and very worth studying. So can the left-wing political groups also use the Falwellian model? For example, we are all familiar with the left-wing of Latin America.
For many years, it has been the fear of anti-emigrants, anti-American, anti-capitalists, and the wishful thinking of liberating the poor, including the act of making themselves the leaders of the old world, which has repeatedly harvested the bottom of Latin America. I'm not just talking about things like Cuba, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, which Latin American country is not doing this? There is also the Modi of India, which uses Indian nationalism, and the Roman idealism of a thousand-year god-state similar to the Falwellian, to mobilize these low-seed farmers and turn them into the basic class of the People's Party. In fact, it is the same with the Chinese Communist Party.
The Mao era before the reform and opening up regarded the communist society as a secular god-state, and the poor, the so-called proletariat, the workers and the farmers, were the masters of history, the people who were elected. As long as you follow Chairman Mao's second coming of Christianity, you can reach a society like paradise where everyone is equal, and that is the millennium of the Falwellian era. Now in the Xi Jinping era, it has created a dream of China, a place for the revival of the nation.
The people at the bottom are now told that the paradise of communism will not go for the time being, and now Secretary Xi is taking us to another good place called the dream of China. The emotional leverage in this is to use the pride of the nation to stir the fear of the outside, such as the United States. What do people do when they are in fear? It's a riot, so that everyone is automatically closely united around the party center, which is the core of President Xi.
This is almost the same as the Falwellian sense of urgency and mobilization of voters. It's almost the same as the Falwellian sense of urgency and mobilization of voters. So we can't go into detail about the limited spectrum.
But have you noticed that no matter which country uses it, no matter how it is used, why is the Falwellian mode always not cool? In the end, it is because the majority of the population is ordinary people, and the general educational resources are too limited, and the information channels are too simple. Even in developed countries, it is the same. So this causes a low cost to the emotional mobilization of the people at the bottom, which is so low that it is outrageous, and the user age is so high that it is unrecognizable.
And the people at the bottom are different from those capitalists who support you by calculation. They often don't ask for too much return or redistribution of interests to consolidate loyalty, don't ask for a relationship with the political parties and political figures, just a psychological satisfaction is enough, a small favor, a small meeting is enough to maintain the iron plate for many years. It is precisely because we have seen the high cost of mobilizing the people at the bottom, that many of today's think tanks, including the conservative think tanks of the United States, the think tanks of China's central party school, the CCP, and even some of the right-wing and left-wing think tanks I know, are studying how to optimize this kind of emotional mobilization, to hack the emotions of the people, and to encourage them to start a case, to invest in the mechanism of political action, just like market marketing, psychological manipulation, and to let the political parties, governments, and political figures mobilize the people at the bottom at a low cost to gain power.
Of course, I say this from the perspective of a political researcher. If you start from the perspective of a single religion or a single science, a single party, a single political ideology, a moral line, they are undoubtedly happy, because they have found the meaning of existence. In the end, the human emotional needs will not disappear.
Human beings have been pursuing the meaning of existence since primitive society, the sense of belonging, hope, and the enemy. No matter how high the level of education is, no matter how high the quality is, rationality cannot fully meet the deep emotional psychological needs of human beings. Therefore, through the mobilization of human behavior through emotional demand, it will be an eternal part of human politics, neither stupid nor shameful.
This is determined by human nature. Only a few people can escape, but what is a pity? After they escape, they often turn back and start to fool the majority.
