In this thread 🧵, I have prepared summaries from the book “The Controversy of Zion” by Douglas Reed.

I have only summarised the portion of the book where he writes about the origin, codification and expansion of the doctrine of the Talmud, which is largely unknown, confusing, scarce and hidden to the public.

Douglas Reed was a very prominent journalist, author and novelist during his early career. Reed wrote more than 20 books during his career, mostly on political non-fiction and fiction. He was a well-regarded correspondent for The Times in Europe, and his early works on European politics and World War II received considerable attention.

However, his prominence declined significantly after his controversial views on Zionism and Jewish influence. His book “The Controversy of Zion” was only published in 1978, two years after his death.

I curated this thread of summaries in 10 phases, starting from 456 BC to 20th Century Zionism. And I have only touched on the phase of Zionism briefly, since it would make the thread too long and also information and histories about modern day Zionism is widely available to read. Moreover I have already posted a thread summarising the book “”Zionism: The hidden tyranny” by Benjamin Freedman. I would also recommend to go through that thread for learning about 20th century history of Zionism.

I was really looking for historical records about how Judaism got so corrupted, where and when exactly did all of it turn so destructive. And I was suggested this book by a friend. And it did help me fill many gaps in my understanding and connect a few dots. And I hope it does the same for you.

So, If this content resonates with you, please share and repost.

Phase 1: Master Race Origins

The true beginning of it was in 458 BC when Judah, a small Palestinian tribe disowned by the Israelites, created a racial creed that would have a disruptive influence on human history. This creed, which became known as “Judaism,” established the idea of a master-race, with Jehovah (Hebrew name for God) designating the Judahites as his “chosen people.”

This creed rejected the then-emerging idea of a universal, loving God, instead promoting a vengeful deity and racial exclusivity. The Israelites, who had absorbed the concept of a God for all, had by then been assimilated by other peoples, leaving Judah and the Levites to form this unique religion of segregation and vengeance.

Judaism turned away from the universalism of earlier traditions, such as the Egyptian Book of the Dead, which spoke of a single God for all humanity. Instead, the Levites codified a creed that demanded adherence to Commands and Judgments in exchange for territorial and racial superiority.

This transformation perverted the earlier tradition of Moses as a moral leader, turning him into a figure associated with mass murder and vengeance. The story of Moses leading an exodus from Egypt and the conquest of Canaan was invented to justify a creed of destruction, exclusion, and divine vengeance against other peoples.

Judah’s racial creed, which began as an adaptation of earlier religious ideas, became a political program focused on destruction. The Levites edited this doctrine, inserting allegories and myths into the historical narrative to reinforce the idea of Jehovah’s chosen people, who would inherit the promised land through violent conquest.

Thus, Judah, possibly not even an Israelitish tribe, was destined to carry forward a religion centred on hatred, segregation, and destruction, forever setting them apart from other nations and peoples.Image
Phase 2: Fall of Israel and Rise of Judah

Around 500 years before 458 BC, the association between Judah and Israel already had ended, as Israel rejected the chosen-people creed that was emerging in Judah.

Israel, a northern confederation of ten tribes, distanced itself from Judah, which became known for its treacherous and incestuous origins.

The Levites, hereditary priests who wandered among the tribes, pushed for a theocracy, where they held power under the guise of divine rule. They united with Israel briefly under King Saul but soon replaced him with David of Judah. This union was fragile, ending with the split into two separate entities: Israel and Judah.

Israel believed in merging with mankind, while Judah, influenced by the Levites, pursued absolute separation, exclusion, and racial distinction.

The Levites were responsible for turning Judah into a sect focused on racial segregation and vengeance. Despite brief attempts to unite, Israel ultimately rejected Judah's racial creed. The Hebrew prophets, many from Israel, protested against the Levites' sacrificial rites and violent doctrine, advocating for moral behavior and justice instead.

Israel’s fall to Assyria in 721 BC marked its disappearance from history, while Judah survived as a vassal state under Assyria and Egypt. The Levites claimed that Israel’s demise was deserved because of its openness and harmonization with other peoples, while Judah continued to develop its separatist ideology. Though Israel's bloodline may have merged with other peoples, the Levites pronounced them spiritually “dead,” asserting that only Judah remained true to their racial creed.

The Zionist state's adoption of the name “Israel” in 1948 was seen as a forgery, as Israel had long rejected the creed that evolved into modern Judaism.Image

Nintendo took 40 years to give us a Legend of Zelda movie.

I made this in 5 days on a $300 budget.

It looks like a $300M blockbuster.

Let me show you how I made this in 5 simple steps inside of Freepik: 🧵
1 - Story

I ditched the bright Nintendo look for a gritty, grounded reality.

Zelda isn't just waiting in a castle; she's seeing her home get destroyed and has to act.

I mapped the specific beats and scenes:
Fear → Ruin → Rage → Capture → Confrontation Image
1.5 - Location Scouting

I then mapped out all the iconic Hyrule locations that I wanted.

I wanted them to be cinematic and chaotic.

Generating a quick "mood board" helps you get consistent results when you dive into each scene next. Image

DeepMind just did the unthinkable.

They built an AI that doesn't need RAG and it has perfect memory of everything it's ever read.

It's called Recursive Language Models, and it might mark the death of traditional context windows forever.

Here's how it works (and why it matters way more than it sounds) ↓Image
Everyone's been obsessed with context windows like it's a dick-measuring contest.

"We have 2M tokens!" "No, WE have 10M tokens!"

Cool. Your model still forgets everything past 100K. They call it "context rot" and every frontier model suffers from it. Image
RAG was supposed to save us.

Just retrieve the relevant chunks, stuff them in the prompt, problem solved.

Except RAG is fundamentally broken for anything that actually matters. It can't handle tasks where you need to look at multiple parts of a document simultaneously. Image

A brief tactical-geopolitical update on the evolving regional dynamics affecting RSF supply lines since this paper came out.

Whereas RSF supply lines were primarily shaped by endogenous developments in Libya, Chad, and Sudan from 2023 through late 2025, a set of exogenous shifts in geopolitical dynamics are now forcing significant adaptations in RSF logistics. Three interlinked factors appear to be driving this change:

1. A Turko-Egyptian rapprochement

2. An Emirati entrenchment in Ethiopia

3. The Saudi/Emirati Red Sea crisis (Yemen/Somalia)
First, the Turko-Egyptian rapprochement is perhaps the most consequential. By late 2025, there was evidence of growing operational cooperation between Ankara and Cairo in the defence sector. This has manifested in the first sustained Egyptian kinetic action against RSF supply convoys transiting the Mutalath (the Egypt-Libya-Sudan tri-border area) from Kufra into Darfur. These actions appear to have integrated Turkish surveillance and strike capabilities projected through Egyptian bases.

A key node in this adjustment is the East Aweinat airbase in southwestern Egypt, located roughly 60 km from the Sudanese border. Open-source indicators point to extensive upgrades at East Aweinat and runway lengthening - changes consistent with enhanced sortie generation capability and, by extension, a greater ability to strike targets deep into Darfur (if not further).

I have been doing some archival, geographical, historical research on the folks known as the Agikuyu. Thread
My people the Gikuyu were not a monolithic people. They absorbed other ethnic groups as they migrated across what would later become Central Province.
Some absorbed the Gumba - in some texts, they are referred to as the Ogiek (still researching to see if they are one and the same). Some Gumba were short, some lived in caves in the ground, some buried their own. So the Gikuyu who intergrated here, began to bury their own.

1) What is happening in #Iran could be the largest massacre carried out by the Islamic Republic in its history. By my estimation, the scale of the killings has now surpassed the mass executions of 1988, with the death toll potentially exceeding 10,000.
bozorgmehr.substack.com/p/time-is-runn…
2) My estimation is based on conversations with reporters, human rights activists, and ordinary citizens on the ground. I have also seen horrific videos and pictures recorded by Iranians at the scene. #IranRevolution2026
3) The images and videos come largely through Starlink connections, which are concentrated in wealthier urban areas. Vast parts of the country—especially smaller cities, rural regions, and villages—remain completely in the dark. The true scale of the violence may be far more shocking.

1/ Ukrainians are said to be funding their war effort by systematically fleecing billions from Russian citizens and businesses through online and phone scams. It's a hidden front of a hybrid war that employs both kinetic means on the battlefield and hacking on the home front. ⬇️ Image
2/ The Russian Telegram channel 'Veterans' Notes' comments that "a full-scale, quiet, and extremely profitable campaign for the enemy has unfolded in the [Russian] rear."
3/ "The scale of financial losses to citizens and the economy from fraudsters has reached the level of a serious threat to national security in the context of the Special Military Operation. This is no longer an epidemic; it is now a way of life.
