What happens next
Let’s spoil the ending: I don’t know.
But, I can tell you this:
If the Rav has gone back into galut again, wandering around Europe in harsh conditions, at the age of 88, with one kidney, two weeks after a severe and serious treatment for cancer – Am Yisrael is probably facing another huge spiritual challenge.
In those videos from R Elmaliach yesterday, the Rav was giving over some very clear messages.
==
Message 1: Trump and ‘War with Iran’ is NOT going to bring the geula.
My guess is, because while the prophecies talk about the King of Edom and the King of Persia going to war against each other, the truth is that we are currently dealing with puppet regimes on all sides of that equation, who basically work for the same small band of ‘Evils’.
All this is stage-managed.
So, anyone who is waiting for ‘War with Iran’ to come and take them out of galut / ongoing misery – it’s not going to happen.
All ‘War with Iran’ will do, if it happens, again, for the third time in a year, already, is consolidate the ‘Evils’ power, by keeping more people caught up in their little show, having the soul literally sucked out of them to keep this paradigm going.

Let’s detour to THIS article, for a moment, to explain that side of things more.
(A word of warning: I have pictures disabled on Sott, I have no idea what images accompany this piece.)
It’s a piece dissecting some of the information pouring out of the Epstein files, which my friend tells me is blowing up on social media, like a never-ending tsunami, sadly much of which is gushing in our direction.
It’s subtitled: The Politics of Institutional Predation
And off the back of the Epstein files, it’s describing how a ‘Luciferian Cult’ is coming out of the shadows, which is apparently different, at least slightly, from the ‘Satanic Cults’ we sometimes hear about.
Here’s some snippets that caught my eye:
==
What if all the ritualistic abuse we are seeing isn’t random criminality but an expression of an overarching, organizing principle that viewed mere humans as psychic fodder, to be devoured for the benefit of those in the know?
==
As the names keep dropping, it’s hard not to get a sense that absolutely anybody who had achieved fame, influence, power or renown was mixed up in an organized cabal of depravity and moral turpitude.
It feels like every TED Talk you ever nodded in agreement to, every Grammy award-winning singer you vibed to, every politician you voted for, and every business leader whose companies you bought shares in, they were all laughing behind your back, because it was a Big Club and you ain’t in it.
==
I thought that belief in a vast, overarching conspiracy of powerful elites who controlled everything was Loserthink. It ingrained a sense of helplessness in the believer, which made them ambivalent and docile.
Now I realize that I’m the loser – at least in the eyes of everyone in The Club, because there is now no doubt, except to the willfully ignorant – that The Club exists, and the entire political ruling class, the corporate oligarchs, the TED-class influencers and CNN talking heads and panelist experts, are all in it.
==
All this, we’ve been saying here for years and years.
I’ve experienced so much censorship myself, in so many different directions, but especially around anything to do with the Rav, that it became very clear a long time ago, that you have to ‘sell your soul to the devil’, in someway, to be really successful today.
And that of course applies a million percent to the Jewish world, and also, the ‘frum Jewish world’.
No-one gets their birthdays celebrated by Presidents of America, unless they were also part of The Club.
==
But perhaps more interestingly, at least for me, is that this ‘Luciferian paradigm’ operates on a system where it’s powered up by sucking the soul, the ‘life’, the juice out of other people, in a million different ways.
It could be by taking their money, their ‘opportunities’, their freedom (think: Covid laws, forced conscription, martial law because of ‘terrorists’, Iran, Russia, whatever) – but most importantly of all, by taking their courage to really be ‘them’, and to think for themselves.
This of course is also a key part of the narcissistic playbook.
The infamous ‘narcissist supply’, where the narc is so empty themselves, they have to keep sucking the juice and soul out of all the people around them just to keep going.
==
Here’s another quote from that piece, about how ‘Luciferian Cult’ members are taught / trained / encouraged to operate:
[Luciferianism] “reinforces and encourages four basic energies — devouring, possession, violence and disguise — which in turn, assist the Luciferian to transform consciousness, animate hidden potential, and ultimately attain godhood.”
==
This is TOTALLY a spiritual war, people, as we’ve been saying for ages.
And look what the main weapons are, being used by the ‘Evils’, to wage it:
DEVOURING – i.e. taking stuff from other people, money, property, energy, etc.
The piece continues:
“The actual experience of being devoured emotionally, cognitively, or spiritually usually occurs gradually over time. The devouring itself is never obvious to the victim; if it was, then defenses would be mobilized.”
This is again, the classic narcissist playbook, of operating under the radar.
==
The other three ‘weapons’ are:
- Possession,
- Violence and
- Disguise
POSSESSION – is where you take over another person’s soul, so they lose their free choice.
VIOLENCE – is where you create a paradigm where violence, and ‘survival of the fittest’ is painted as the ONLY option to solve a problem, and is thus depicted as being something beneficial, good, and even holy.
DISGUISE – is where you lie. You pretend to be what your not – the opposite of what you really stand for, and who you really are. Our political process, our media, is built on this principle, 100%.
==
So now, how do we REALLY fight this war, against the evil that has taken over the world, all of our institutions, our political systems, our media, our society?
The Rav explained that too, yesterday:
Torah, real teshuvah, good deeds, having emuna in Hashem – and the key part, Emunat Tzaddikim.
An apikores in the Gemara is defined as someone who doesn’t have emunat tzaddikim. Did you know that?
==
Bottom line: it’s a spiritual war, and ‘war with Iran’ is only going to make things worse, not bring geula.
If you really want geula, then you have to knuckle down, start doing hitbodedut, start getting real, about all the areas that need some work, the blind spots we all have, the narcissist behaviours we are still exhibiting in our own lives, or ‘excusing’ and justifying around us.
And – we have to work on developing real emuna in Hashem, and real emunat tzaddikim.
That’s how geula will come, and no other way.
That’s what the Rav is saying.
And that’s why, probably, he’s giving a deadline of 200 years, because I honestly have no idea how many people are going to get with this program, tachlis.
==
Tov.
We’ll stop there for today.
May Hashem bless us all to uproot the ‘narcissist playback’ in our own lives, to recognise it in the world around us and stop going along with it, and to take our souls back from the ‘Evils’ who are currently using violence and disguise to ‘devour’ and ‘possess’ other people.
Amen.

The “antidote” the Rav gives seemingly perfectly matches up with the four points of these forces of darkness:
Devouring = Real Tshuva
Instead of the selfishness (“taking”) of using time (“life”) for our desires we are giving (“returning”) to HaShem his most prized possession, namely ourselves, i.e., our lives.
Possession = Emunat Hashem and Emunat Tsaddikim
We are submitting ourselves to His will and His Tsaddikim. The opposite of possession (the desire to control) is giving over our “power” to HaShem and His Tsadikkim to shape our lives and heed their words.
Violence = Good Deeds
Doing chesed (good deeds) for another person is the opposite of harming them. Thinking of others above ourselves. Pretty straightforward.
Disguise = Torah
Torah (truth) is what reveals the disguise (lies) in the world of lies. There is no way to “mask” the Torah which lasts forever unlike a lie that has finite lifetime.
Now you could also argue each of these matches up with specific Jewish holidays:
Tshuva: Rosh HaShana-Yom Kippur-Sukkot
Self-explanatory.
Emunat HaShem v’Emunat Tsaddikim:
Pesach
Matzah is the “bread of faith”. Furthermore, how could one not have emunat HaShem upon seeing His miracles in Mitsrayim, and also Emunat Tzaddikim with Moshe Rabbeinu leading. Nissan is also the month of miracles.
Good Deeds: Purim
This is where we are commanded to give tzedeka, mishloach manot, etc. Pretty straightforward. Even Tsom Esther is done so for the benefit of the “nation” as opposed to Yom Kippur which is much more “individual”, once again showcasing a good deed for the benefit of the nation.
Torah: Shavuot
Self-explanatory.
