Who runs the world?
Who runs the world?

It has been almost forty years since the book "Judaism and Freemasonry" was published under the pseudonym Harun Yahya. When this book was first published, it made a big splash; we could see it almost everywhere at that time. I had also glanced at its content a few times. Years later, I can better explain why I did not want to read the book signed by Harun Yahya. The books I had read up to "Judaism and Freemasonry," the magazines I followed, and our discussion topics were in a certain direction. This new book was not one I would want to read. Because there was a very serious difference in approach.

Harun Yahya's book was written according to a very comprehensive style of approach that had persisted in Türkiye for a very long time. Jews, Freemasons, secret organizations, and a few families running the world actually pointed to a style of approach, and unfortunately, this style of approach has regained its former power recently with leaked documents. As far as I can determine, the first books of this kind emerged in the early 1930s. Unfortunately, the target of such publications was the conservative segment. Among Islamist publications, which experienced a serious breakthrough period in the 1980s, such books were not seen. When I realized this, I understood that my attitude towards Harun Yahya's book was not personal. There was a significant difference between the two styles of approach. I am of the opinion that it would be much more accurate for our colleagues working on the period to pursue such differences. Indeed, meaning has emerged from these differences.

Our keeping our distance from the concepts and expressions of Jews, Freemasons, secret organizations, and a few families running the world was not without reason. These concepts and expressions did not emerge as a result of a systematic approach and were clouding the mind. Because they had no concrete counterpart. Moreover, with this style of approach, it was not possible to meaningfully analyze events because they did not shed light on reality and led to ambiguity of meaning. It was quite surprising that it went unnoticed that divine power was being attributed to imaginary enemies who were all-powerful. Thus, events were explained by coincidences. We saw through experience that this would not be enlightening. The most striking example of this situation is the existence of Israel. I wholeheartedly believe that the literature on Israel needs to be scanned with a critical eye. There is a great need for systematic work on the past. For example, as early as the second half of the 1960s, while Sezai Karakoç defined Israel as a colonial extension of Western European states, the majority was far from seeing England and the USA behind the events. This was not a simple divergence. The ever-expanding and deeply penetrating admiration for England, the USA, and Western civilization in general over time is still a mystery that requires explanation. Islamic thought, on the other hand, takes a side in this divergence and because it takes a side, it has charted a different path.

October 7, 2023, should have very serious reflections in our world of thought. It was not meaningful to discuss Israel within Jewish theology. Yes, it is not correct to completely ignore Jewish theology and history, but it is also not possible to reduce Zionism to Judaism, Freemasons, secret organizations, and a few families running the world. After October 7th, this emerged in a way that leaves no room for any debate. Palestinians told the world very different things. The whole world saw that states like the USA, England, Germany, France, Canada, Italy, and Hungary were complicit in genocide alongside Israel. India had also joined its men to Israel's ranks to take part in the colonial expansionist attacks subjecting Palestinians to genocide. It would be very strange for us to think that these states were acting under the guidance of a few families, and unfortunately, many people thought so. Moreover, many influential people in positions of responsibility in these countries continued to cause a loss of direction by saying they were in a religious war.

I can say that after the leaking of the Epstein files, the approach of Jews, Freemasons, secret organizations, and a few families running the world has regained strength. There seem to be many examples that would justify them. But this approach will lead us back to old misconceptions. Such approaches do not indicate systematic thought; they dull the mind and divert attention elsewhere. If we try to explain it solely through England and the USA, we can say that the structures that emerged gained power in an area permitted by states and that a network of dirty relations emerged.
