Scott Horton: US Commanders Pushing END TIMES IDEOLOGY To Rally Troops
Quick Read
Summary
Takeaways
- ❖Naftali Bennett's 1996 actions in Lebanon are framed by Scott Horton as a direct cause for Osama Bin Laden's 1996 declaration of war and Mohammed Atta's decision to join Al Qaeda.
- ❖Reports indicate US combat unit commanders are telling non-commissioned officers that the Iran war is 'God's plan' and for 'Armageddon' and the 'return of Jesus'.
- ❖The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has logged over 110 similar complaints about commanders across military branches promoting end-times beliefs.
- ❖Scott Horton asserts that Iran's nuclear program was 'essentially obliterated' last summer, with facilities like Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan taken offline, rendering the nuclear threat a 'bogus pretext' for war.
- ❖Iran was reportedly negotiating from a position of weakness, offering a 'full moratorium on enrichment for 3-5 years' and no sunset provisions, which Horton suggests led to the war being launched to prevent a deal.
- ❖Horton speculates that US involvement in the war with Iran could be due to President Trump's personal ties to Netanyahu, Jared Kushner's Likud-aligned views, or even potential blackmail, rather than genuine threats.
Insights
1Religious Extremism in US Military Leadership
Independent journalist Jonathan Larson reported that US troops were told the Iran war is for Armageddon and the return of Jesus. A combat unit commander briefed non-commissioned officers that the war is 'God's plan' and that Donald Trump was 'anointed by Jesus' to cause Armageddon. Over 110 similar complaints from every military branch were logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.

2Iran's Nuclear Program 'Obliterated' Prior to Current Conflict
Scott Horton claims that Israel and the US 'essentially obliterated Iran's nuclear program' last summer, taking key facilities (Fordo, Natanz, Isfahan) completely offline. Satellite imagery from ISIS online reportedly shows no activity at these sites. This suggests the 'Iran nuclear weapon' narrative is a 'bogus pretext for war'.

3Israeli Influence and Potential Blackmail in US Foreign Policy
Horton questions the official narrative that the US was 'roped into' war by Israeli threats, suggesting it was a coordinated effort. He speculates that US presidents, including Trump, might be influenced by Israeli interests through personal relationships (like Jared Kushner's Likud ties) or even potential blackmail, referencing a past attempt to blackmail Bill Clinton.

4Naftali Bennett's Alleged Role in 9/11 Causation
Scott Horton asserts that former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's 1996 artillery strike on a UN shelter in Qana, Lebanon, which killed 108 women and children, was a direct cause of 9/11. He states that Osama Bin Laden referenced this massacre in his 1996 declaration of war, influencing Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker, to join Al Qaeda.
Scott Horton's historical interpretation and assertion.
Bottom Line
The 'nuclear weapon' narrative used to justify military action against Iran is a misdirection, as Iran's program was largely dismantled before the current conflict.
Policymakers and the public are being misled about the true nature of the threat, potentially leading to unnecessary and costly wars based on fabricated pretexts.
Investigate and expose the real status of Iran's nuclear capabilities and challenge official justifications for military intervention, pushing for diplomacy based on accurate intelligence.
Religious 'End Times' ideology is actively being promoted by some US military commanders to troops, framing geopolitical conflicts as divine mandates.
This introduces an irrational and dangerous element into military decision-making and troop morale, potentially leading to reckless actions and a disregard for human life under the guise of religious prophecy.
Advocate for stricter enforcement of secularism within the military, investigate and remove commanders who promote religious fanaticism, and educate the public on the dangers of such ideologies influencing national security.
Lessons
- Question official narratives regarding military conflicts, especially those involving 'imminent threats' or 'weapons of mass destruction', and seek out alternative analyses.
- Research the Military Religious Freedom Foundation and similar organizations to understand the extent of religious extremism within the US military and advocate for secular governance.
- Investigate the historical context and alleged motivations behind past conflicts, such as the 1996 Qana massacre, to understand their long-term geopolitical repercussions.
Quotes
"It was that man's murder of innocent women and children that caused those two towers full of 3,000 innocent men and women to be brought down on September 11th. So don't anyone ever forget that about Naftali Bennett."
"A combat unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God's plan, that President Donald Trump was anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth."
"The idea that they would be really having this much influence on how policy is carried out is absolutely terrifying."
"Oh, they're simply lying. It's a completely bogus pretext for war. I mean, in fact, last summer, they really did essentially obliterate Iran's nuclear program."
