The Wailing Wall is believed to be a remnant of the Second Temple, but it is actually a surviving wall of Fort Antonia, a Roman military compound. The actual temple stood to the south, over the Gihon Spring. The rock beneath the Dome Of The Rock was part of Fort Antonia, not the temple's foundation stone. Rituals at the Wailing Wall are rooted in Kabbalah, not biblical faith. The divine presence sought is the Shechinah, a feminine emanation in Jewish mysticism, with whom spiritual union is sought through prayer. Kavana, with physical movements, mirrors an esoteric sexual ritual to unite the Shechinah with the Einsof. Political figures perform rites of passage at the Wailing Wall, participating in an occult ritual, submitting themselves at the seat of the synagogue of Satan. God does not dwell in temples made with hands, much less a Roman fortress surrounded by rituals that glorify a false god and mystical union.

The black cube worn on the forehead is intentional and connected to Luciferian symbolism, forbidden history, and ancient knowledge. The Teflon represents Saturn, which has a hexagram on its North Pole, rebranded as the Star of David but actually the Star of Remfam. In the ancient world, the hexagram represented Saturn and communed with the underworld. Satanic cults and homosexual pagan cultures venerated Saturday/Saturn's day/the Sabbath as a day of rest after a week of immoral activities. Christians changed the day of rest to Sunday to honor the Holy Spirit. This is because it's all Satanism in disguise; they worship evil and call him Hashem. The snake offers a Promethean model of spirituality where one can self-aggrandize their material wealth. The Talmud is a book of derogatory segregation, blasphemy, and tricking God. It is dedicated to worshipping the self as God's chosen people, hiding the truth that these people define themselves from the rejection of universal love and Jesus Christ.

Rituals at the Wall are rooted in Kabbalah, not biblical faith. The divine presence sought is the Shechina, a feminine emanation, with prayer (kavana) being a metaphysical sex act to unite her with the Einsof.

London, Vatican City, and Washington DC are all branches of control for the world elite. London serves as the financial center, Vatican City represents world religion, and Washington DC is for the military. Each of these entities has an Egyptian obelisk, which symbolizes the sexual organ of the false god Osiris. Vatican City also has a dome that represents the pregnant stomach of the false god Isis. Occultists within these systems believe they are summoning Apollo through rituals performed at the capital building and Vatican City. Their goal is to fulfill Revelation 911, where Apollo is referred to as Abaddon or Apollyon.

Christians should never wear the Star of David, a symbol the speaker says represents Israel and the false religion of Judaism, and Christians have been deceived into wearing it to show support for Israel; this is 100% wrong. The speaker claims there is no Old Testament example of King David discussing or wearing the Star of David, and that the idea it might be Solomon’s seal is false and not found in the Bible. The Star of David, they say, is found in the Kabbalah—Jewish mysticism and esoteric teachings that are contrary to the word of God. The Bible only shows a star used when Israel rejected God and worshiped other gods (Acts 7:43). Therefore, the coronation of Israel using a star is 100% appropriate, while a believer in Christ wearing it is 100% sinful.

The Wailing Wall is associated with a ritual from the 13th Century Jewish occult system, Kabbalah. The divine presence there is described as the Kabbalistic feminine aspect, the Shekinah. Observers note that rabbis engage in a specific prayer movement, referred to as governing, which symbolizes a union with the masculine aspect, Ein Sof. This practice is portrayed as an occult ritual, suggesting that the divine presence is not what it seems.

The gospels reveal Satan as the commander of spiritual powers, and Satanists acknowledge spirits in the air, as the gospels state. Magicians unprepared to attain desires may seek Satan's aid. Witchcraft and Satanism are real, evidenced by earthly power. A demon, fifth in the pyramid structure, is titled "Inspector General," mirroring the highest Freemasonry degree. Lucifer and Beelzebub, called the prince of devils in the gospels, are listed as superior spirits in witchcraft books. The seal of Saturn is a demonic sigil. Freemasonry is a one-eyed religion hiding in plain sight, functioning out of sight and out of mind. Blood is part of the royal art, and Masonic lodges filter Satanists. There's a hidden science to blood sacrifice, a deeper reality behind Jesus' crucifixion. A Freemason admitted in 2016 that every church would become a brothel. A fashion show in a church, organized by high-ranking Freemasons, was a heart-wrenching mockery.

Dan Duvall returns to the deep end conversation, weaving together time travel lore, dark esoteric systems, and practical ministry aims. The discussion touches on government-grade mind control, ancient and modern occult practices, and a vision for how believers might respond with deliverance and deprogramming. Key points and claims from the transcript: - Montauk chair and time travel with children - Dan recounts two Montauk survivors who independently drew the same depiction of a Montauk chair. The chair’s function, as described by these sources, involved activating a child’s psychic power to interface with the chair, open a portal or jump gate, and send people through timelines with coordinates. The adults who traveled allegedly returned with their minds “snapped,” while children were preferred for their pliability. - The claimed outcomes included access to timelines around events such as the cross in Jesus’ time and alternate histories (e.g., Germany’s victory in World War II). The survivor testimonies point to a physically seeded, technologically described process with spiritual overtones. - Epigenetic memories and deep memory layers - The discussion shifts to encounters with epigenetic memories or memories from before embodiment. Dan emphasizes experiences drawn from video game imagery (Assassin’s Creed) as a framework for discussing deep, generational memory and the persistence of dark activity in human bloodlines, including Genesis 6-type incursions. - The theme recurs: the infiltration of human bloodlines by dark forces never stopped, and there are claims of underground activity related to sacred sites (Temple Mount) and “Nephilim mothers” who birth hybrids through ritual, with a later council of thirteen in subterranean spaces. - Temple Mount, underground realms, and portals - Dan describes deep underground work beneath the Temple Mount as a nexus for ley lines and “portal access points” to multiple places, including a Babylonian/underground realm. There is mention of a Nephilim hybrid council and the possibility of travel to Hollow Earth and other astral/portal realms, with physical and spiritual dimensions interacting. - He ties these underground operations to mind control programs (MKUltra and related projects), asserting that such programming crafts responses in politicians and public figures to enable a broader “beast kingdom.” - Epstein, Mengele, and Kabbalah - The Epstein files are discussed as evidence of a broader plan: genetic augmentation, designer babies, and connections to Kabbalah and the Illuminati. He describes Epstein as “Mengele two point o,” a trainer and programmer who embodies these dark genetic and mind-control ambitions. - Dan references Svali (a pseudonymous former member of the Jesuit/Jewish occult networks) who described similar experiments and mind-control techniques, emphasizing the use of genetic augmentation, sex magic, and hybrid birth programs. - Kabbalah vs. Christian theology - A major recurring topic is Kabbalah as a powerful “new age consciousness operating system” that twists biblical concepts. Dan argues that Kabbalah reinterprets Genesis and other biblical texts through the lens of the Babylonian Talmud (Midrash), elevating the serpent (Nakash) to messianic status and promoting twin messiahs (Meshiach ben Yosef and Meshiach ben David), which undermines Christian doctrine of Jesus as the Messiah. - He contrasts Jacob’s ladder in the Bible with the Kabbalistic four-world structure, warning that Kabbalah’s ladder uses Merkabah mysticism and ascension protocols to reach universal consciousness, which Dan sees as a sorcery-based path that diverts from Christ. - Dissociation, mind control, and soul fragments - The conversation delves into dissociation and DID as outcomes of trauma and mind-control programming. Dan explains a dissociative continuum—from daydreaming to dissociative amnesia to full, alternate personalities—arguing that severe trauma in childhood leads to soul fragmentation and parts that can be accessed or “brought forward” in ministry. - He distinguishes trauma-based dissociation from past-life memories or epigenetic memory, though he allows for complex interactions among DNA memory, the human spirit, and preconception or astral experiences. He notes that trauma and ritual abuse can lead to parts with their own narratives and memory banks, sometimes accessible through deliverance or realm-based prayers. - The “beast system” and global governance - The beast system is described as a global governance project—two beasts from Revelation: the beast out of the sea (the antichrist figure) and the beast out of the earth (the false prophet). The goal is to control political, religious, monetary, and societal structures worldwide. - Dan points to historical and literary sources such as Leviathan (the book’s forerunner on massive governance) and discusses how mind control, the secret space program, and genetic engineering contribute to this overarching project. He suggests the beast system seeks to impose a centralized, global order in opposition to Christ’s kingdom. - Time, angels, and heavenly realities - A recurring thread is how spiritual realities intersect with time, memory, and the heavenly realm. Dan discusses the possibility that believers can operate “in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” even while living in a temporal world, describing superposition and the notion that spiritual realities can coexist with earthly timelines. - He also reflects on angelic hierarchies, noting Michael’s armies, Leviathan, and the general organization of heaven and hellish governance. He suggests that God’s power ultimately prevails, even as darkness pursues a global dominion. - Practical and pastoral aims - A central aim is to scale deprogramming, inner healing, and deliverance ministries to address mind-control programming, SRA trauma, and other spiritual warfare needs. Dan emphasizes that many who have undergone such programming require deprogramming to participate effectively in God’s plans, including ministers, political figures, and Hollywood professionals. - He frames this as a mission to prepare a generation of “power players” who can counter the beast system with the power and authority of Jesus, while offering the hope that, no matter the darkness, God’s plan is superior. - Final exhortations - Dan concludes with a call to pursue extraordinary demonstration of sonship in Christ and to resist the lull of cynicism or despair. He urges believers to recognize the reality of spiritual warfare and to engage with deliverance and deprogramming as essential components of preparing for what he sees as an imminent clash between darkness and God’s kingdom. Throughout, the dialogue blends testimony, controversial claims about secret histories, and a theological framework that positions deliverance and deprogramming as critical responses to a perceived global spiritual drama.

Even high-ranking Freemasons are unaware of the degrees above them, hidden behind a veil. Freemasonry, along with groups like the Rosicrucians, Knights of Malta, Golden Dawn, Templi Ordo Orientalis, Bene Bereth, and the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, are subversive organizations destroying the country from within. These orders are loyal only to their worldwide brotherhood, with oaths that negate all others. Their rituals draw heavily from Jewish Kabbalah and mysticism, though most Jews are not involved. Anciently, Jews preserved and passed down knowledge in secret due to persecution. The nation of Islam, under Prophet Muhammad, also held vast knowledge. Freemasons unknowingly practice pagan rites, worshipping the sun/Lucifer when circumambulating the lodge. Albert Pike identified Freemasonry's true god, confirming it's a non-Christian religion, despite Masons pointing to the Bible to deceive the public. They conceal that some lodges use the Bhagavad Gita as their altar.

The transcript claims that the Wailing Wall is the seat of a satanic ritual outlined by the thirteenth-century Jewish occult system known as the Kabbalah. It asserts that the so-called divine presence at the Wailing Wall is actually the Kabbalistic feminine emanation of their false god, the Shekinah. The speaker urges viewers to watch closely as rabbis perform a prescribed prayer movement called Dovening, in which the Jew supposedly thrusts their pelvises and penises back and forth. This movement, according to the transcript, is described as the Jew copulating with the Shekinah in order to give birth to an erotic union with the Ein Sof, the Kabbalistic masculine emanation of their false god. The speakers contend that the participants are engaging in a lewd occult ritual for what is claimed to be divine presence, which is described as Satan himself. The overall claim presented is that the Wailing Wall ritual, as performed through Dovening, is a coordinated occult practice tied to Kabbalistic cosmology, with the divine presence represented by the Shekinah and the Ein Sof, ultimately equated to Satan.

Others view it as a fraternity promoting self-improvement and building a better world. The debate extends to the role of Judaism and Zionism. Some link Freemasonry to ancient occult practices and the Rothschild family, alleging manipulation of global finance and politics. This includes accusations of the family's influence on the creation of Israel and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly centered on the Temple Mount.

A viral image circulating shows a stained mattress pulled from the tunnels, carried by members of the synagogue. The host explains there has been a lot of conspiracy talk but asks David to clarify what the stain is and why the mattress is in the tunnels. The response: the stain is blood, not feces. There are rituals performed in the tunnels that sometimes involve someone who recently died, with the aim of bringing back the Messiah, who died many years ago but whom they believe they can resurrect through these rituals. The ritual leadership is described as led by “the head rabbi,” the person they look to for direction. There is ambiguity about his current status; some believe he is alive, others think he has died. The participants say they try to perform rituals to bring him back. Details about the rituals are not fully disclosed. The body is not laid on the floor; instead, it is placed on the mattress, and there may be an incision on the body that results in a small amount of blood. They decline to go into more specifics. The host mentions bringing a book to illustrate the rituals, specifically the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, and notes that many different books are used, not a single source. The book shown is described as a type of resource that describes various rituals; the exact details are considered too detailed to discuss on air. How the group learned of these practices is attributed to other members, with no single origin given. The bodies involved are described as members of the synagogue who have recently passed away, not sacrifices. Before burial in a cemetery, the body is brought down into the tunnels for a ritual, after which they would either “bring back” the Messiah or read verses from the book during the process. The body is not fully shrouded; it is covered, but not completely. On the question of whether this could be considered a method to bring people from the afterlife, the speaker emphasizes that they believe in the afterlife, and that the purpose of the ritual is to bring back the Messiah. They compare the practice to other traditions where a body might be kept at home for a period before burial, noting that different religions have different rituals. The interviewer references a Wiki article about a sect of Judaism believing Schneerson did not die, and acknowledges that within the synagogue there are different beliefs. Some believe he is dead, some believe he is alive. The ritual’s perceived success depends on belief: for those who believe the Messiah has returned, the ritual “worked”; for those who do not share that belief, it did not. The possibility remains open: anything is a possibility, including the Messiah being on Earth.

The speaker asserts that the Wailing Wall is not the sacred remnant of the Second Temple but is actually a surviving wall of the Roman Fort Antonia, with the actual temple once standing to the south near the Gihon Spring, a location needed for temple purification rituals that the Roman fortress did not meet. The protruding rock beneath the Dome of the Rock, commonly mistaken for the temple’s foundation stone, is described as the central part of Fort Antonia instead. Therefore, according to the speaker, Jews today are praying at the wall of a Roman fortress, not at the remains of God’s temple. Beyond this architectural and historical claim, the speaker moves to a doctrinal critique, arguing that the rituals at the Wailing Wall are not rooted in biblical faith but in the thirteenth-century occult system of the Kabbalah, as elaborated in the Zohar and further mystified by the Hasidic movement. The supposed divine presence sought at the wall is described as the Shechinah, a feminine emanation in Jewish mysticism, often portrayed as a divine consort with whom spiritual union is sought through prayer, a practice called kavana. The speaker contends that the physical movements at the wall, such as back-and-forth motions, mirror an esoteric sexual ritual intended to unite the Shechinah with the Einsof, the infinite masculine force of their god concept. The conclusion drawn is that this is not worship but a metaphysical sex act disguised as devotion, an inversion of divine truth rooted in mysticism that scripture calls an abomination. The discussion then connects these beliefs to politics, claiming that nearly every major political figure must perform a rite of passage at the Wailing Wall, pressing hands against the stone and bowing heads in reverence. The speaker asserts they are not merely engaging in traditional gestures for voters or diplomacy but knowingly or unknowingly participating in an occult ritual, submitting at the seat of a synagogue of Satan. The speaker invokes scripture to support a reinterpretation, citing Acts 17:24, which states that God does not dwell in temples made with hands, and contends that God would not dwell in a Roman fortress surrounded by rituals that glorify a false god and mystical union. The result, according to the speaker, is that leaders are not just shaking hands with global powers but shaking hands with the devil through these acts.

The Rubin Report

Ex- Hostage’s Chilling Details of Captivity, Rare Tour of Holy Sites & the Future of Israel
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Jerusalem is not just a city; it is a paradox where life and threat collide in real time. The Holy Land, Rubin says, feels like the center of the modern world, a place where walking in Jesus’ steps and tracing ancient stones becomes a lens on contemporary courage. He recounts meeting Moran, a young woman kidnapped at the Nova Festival, held for 54 days, forced to entertain captors for 13 hours, and pushed to the edge of hunger. Her story anchors a broader portrait of endurance, memory, and survival. Post October 7, the trip feels different from prior visits. The narrator describes a country moving through raw shock toward something like resolve: a site at Kabutz Kafaras, remains of the Nova Music Festival, and the ongoing reality of roughly 20 hostages still held. Rockets, war in Gaza, Hezbollah, and the Iran question swirl around a society that must improvise joy—comedy clubs underground, markets and meals, and the stubborn energy of people who choose to live. The contrast between life and death becomes the country’s daily rhythm, a tightrope Rubin calls its secret of success. Jerusalem and Tel Aviv become stages for a different kind of story: coexistence amid sacred spaces. At the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Orthodox, Armenian, and Muslim guardians share responsibility; a guide narrates the holy key, the wax seals, and the Holy Fire ceremony. The tour reveals architecture built in Jerusalem stone, the ancient below walls, and the modern bustle above. The city feels poised between two worlds, offering both reverence and renewal in equal measure. Looking ahead, the conversation turns to peace through strength and pragmatic diplomacy. The speaker envisions a Middle East where Gulf states embrace trade with Israel, where Iran’s influence wanes, and where the removal of enmities could unlock a regional golden age. Yet the moral core remains simple: release the hostages, honor life, and build functional societies. In this frame, the personal courage seen on the ground becomes a beacon for a possible future where coexistence replaces extinction fears and old hatreds recede.
