This week marks the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs—the first and only time nuclear weapons were used in war. America dropped them on Japan in August 1945 to bring the Second World War to an end. Rightly or wrongly, the “experiment” worked, but at the cost of more than 300,000 Japanese lives.
A proud but shattered Japan surrendered, and the victorious West celebrated, promising an age of peace and prosperity unlike anything the world had known. It was, we were told, the war to end all wars.
Eighty years later, the reality is the exact opposite. The 21st century has been shaped not by peace, but by the constant hum of war—and by the rise of vast, interconnected power structures that feed on crisis and feed the entitled with unimaginary wealth and power.
The World at Boiling Point
A snapshot of today’s conflicts reads like a grim roll-call:
-
Ukraine – Since Putin’s 2022 invasion, the US has poured nearly $200 billion into the war, with billions more from NATO allies. Russia has spent a similar sum and lost almost a million troops. No end in sight.
-
Israel & Gaza – Since 7 October 2023, Israel’s war against Hamas has killed over 60,000 Palestinians, left Gaza in ruins, and pushed the region to the brink of famine. Iran looms in the background, ready to strike.
-
Ethiopia (Amhara region) – Clashes between the Fano militia and federal forces, including a drone strike on a primary school that killed 100+, have left a trail of death and disappearances.
-
Cambodia–Thailand Border – Fighting flared in May 2025, with ceasefires broken within days. Thousands displaced.
-
Haiti – Gang-controlled Port-au-Prince is a humanitarian disaster, with over a million displaced and cholera spreading.
-
Myanmar – Civil war rages, rebel groups capturing towns despite a rebranded junta.
-
Sudan – The RSF and SAF are locked in a third year of devastating conflict.
-
Georgia – Still partly under Russian military occupation since 2008.
-
Rwanda–DRC – Tensions remain despite a recent cooling.
Azerbaijan and Armenia fought over Nagorno-Karabakh, an ethnically Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan, in the 1980s and 1990s, and violence has flared up in the years since.
-
China–Taiwan & India–Pakistan, North & South Korea, China and India—Simmering and potentially explosive.
It’s hard to escape the conclusion: President Eisenhower’s 1961 warning about the Military–Industrial Complex was prophetic. The machinery of war didn’t fade after WWII — it grew, wrapped itself around the globe, and now fuels an endless churn of conflict.
The Military–Industrial Complex and Its Children
Eisenhower’s “military–industrial complex” is no longer alone. Over the decades, new “industrial complexes” have emerged — vast systems of government, corporations, finance, media, and technology, each reinforcing the other.
These include:
-
The Climate–Industrial Complex – Renewable energy giants, carbon credit markets, ESG consulting firms, green finance, and global agencies all profit from environmental policy. While climate change is real and measurable, the industry around it has become a multi-trillion-dollar enterprise — ripe for exploitation.
-
The Surveillance–Industrial Complex – Governments, Big Tech, and intelligence agencies are harvesting everything from your location to your biometric data. “For safety” has become the justification for mass monitoring, conditioning entire generations to accept being watched — and listened to — at all times.
-
The Medical–Industrial Complex – Big Pharma, device makers, hospital chains, insurers, regulators, and research institutions form a profit-driven system where prevention takes a back seat to treatment. Lobbying and influence can shape policy as much as science does.
The Web of Control—Laying The Foundations For A One World Government!
These aren’t separate empires anymore — they’re interlocked.
-
The Military needs Tech for weapons, surveillance, and data.
-
Tech companies sell to both the Medical and Climate sectors.
-
Finance funds them all, and the Media sells their narratives to the public.
-
Each complex justifies the other’s existence—and growth.
It’s a global web, and the strands are tightening.
Two Decades of Quiet Construction
The control grid didn’t appear overnight. It was built step by step:
2001–2005: The Security Shift
9/11 ushered in mass surveillance powers (Patriot Act, Homeland Security). Airports, borders, and public spaces became testing grounds for biometric systems.
2005–2010: Health Meets Security
Bird flu and swine flu drove the creation of international health emergency laws, marrying public health and national security.
2010–2015: Digital Identity Foundations
Smartphones normalised sharing personal data. India’s Aadhaar system became the world’s largest biometric database. Militaries integrated AI into tracking systems.
2015–2019: Financial Control & Social Scoring
China’s social credit system links finance to behaviour. Mobile payments replaced cash. Central banks began researching digital currencies.
2020–2022: The COVID Catalyst
Lockdowns, digital vaccine passports, and QR-code tracking brought population-level digital access control into everyday life.
2022–2025: Integration & Expansion
CBDC pilot projects accelerated. The WHO pushed for a Global Pandemic Treaty. Wearable and implantable health trackers moved into mainstream medicine.
Building Bricks For The Mark of the Beast
Revelation 13 describes a time when “no one can buy or sell” without the mark. Today, the infrastructure exists—or is being rapidly built—to make such a system possible:
-
Digital IDs linked to health, finance, and travel.
-
Central Bank Digital Currencies that can be switched on or off at will.
-
AI-driven surveillance capable of tracking behaviour in real time.
-
Behavioural conditioning that has trained billions to comply with restrictions “for safety.”
From a biblical perspective, the pieces don’t have to be forced into place—they’re already aligning. The beast system doesn’t need to arrive in a single dramatic moment; it has been quietly in the background, under the banners of safety, progress, and sustainability, or like the BBC above is claiming—' to help you. '
It will finally happen very quickly. All robots and AI will be equipped with a new technology called General Intelligence (AGI)—a computer system smarter than any gifted human individual, which, with 'Recursive Self-Improvement', will be able to morph very quickly into the smartest ever human on every imaginary subject or level.
This can not be stopped; it's. already out there, improving itself. Within 6 years, Super Intelligence Computers (ASI) will have arrived. These will be smarter than the collective 'SUM' of humans. Now, here is the caveat—There is no human understanding or language to describe what will happen when this happens, and the problem is, it's already happening faster than humans can address it—but AI will keep on keeping on and continue riding into the sunset, leaving us all behind . . .
In just a few years, untold millions will be jobless—A useless generation of bottom feeders with no hope of earning any money to look after their families. People will have to give up their property, cars and jewellery to pay a tax to the government—"The Great Reset." You will own nothing and be happy!
The Mark Of The Beast
By taking the Mark, people, under growing pressure, will then receive accommodation, a small monthly amount of money to buy food and clothes and receive health care.
I asked my own AI program—Could AI be part of the "mark of the beast"? The reply was astonishingly honest:
The short answer is:
Yes, it’s very possible — and increasingly plausible — that AI will be involved in, or even central to, the system that enforces the mark of the beast described in Revelation 13.
The Creator’s Warning
Eighty years ago, humanity unleashed the most destructive weapon in history, promising it would end global war. Instead, we’ve built a world where conflict, crisis, and control have become permanent fixtures — profitable for some, devastating for many.
We’ve traded freedom for security, stewardship for exploitation, and truth for manufactured narratives.
The web is nearly complete; we are just waiting for the lawless one.
The only question now is this:
When the system demands allegiance, will we step into it willingly—or step away, back toward the Creator’s design? The Bible says those who refuse the Mark of the Beast will be killed. I can't see none believers refusing the mark, why would they? Many people wouldn't dare step away (no blame there)—others with children won't be able to step back; they will have to feed their kids and pay their mortgage, and they will be trapped. Pregnant and sick people will also have to comply—and, as we saw during the COVID-19 pandemic, the government, media, our own colleagues and friends and family will try to pressurise us into doing the 'right' thing (take the mark so you can look after grandad, he's on his own).
Will believers be brave enough to say no? In the famous words of Edgar Allan Poe, "That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward." But . . . If we are drunk in that moment with the Holy Spirit, I would suggest, anything is possible!
Take care, folks.

Hi Gary.
80 years since those nukes were dropped! It sure does follow suit to the prophetic timeline(s) of things. I've always found this to be very interesting with regard to "when" possibly God started the clock for the end of this world to be set in motion. For many reasons but one clue for me to think this way is the name of the aircraft that carried and dropped those nukes on Japan, enola gay.
Read it backwards... ya g alone. Minus one letter "O", it reads ya go alone.
A message from God no doubt!
I've read there were at least a couple of failed attempts prior to the day those nukes were dropped. Maybe that explains the name on the plane that finally succeeded to drop them!? God stopped them a couple times but man ignored that with continued attempts until finally God allowed it but gave them a prophetic warning by the thought in naming that fatal mission.
And in the aftermath what happened? Here in the U.S. there was a big celebration parade while there in Japan the most horrible effects were put upon innocent lives, if they were still alive. To this day I still can not understand how/why people found that to be a celebration.
