To start this thread some connections from Abu Dhabi to the Anglo-Dutch royals and the Biden and Trump administrations (most of the information I had already posted, but is interesting as a separate topic also)...


Abu Dhabi (UAE) sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan invested several millions pounds in the world’s biggest windfarm, which earned Queen Elizabeth II (may she burn in hell) a fortune.
Mohammed bin Zayed has been friends with King Charles’ brother, former prince Andrew, since Gordonstoun School in Scotland.

See sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed al-Nahayan and Prince Andrew.


Andrew is a regular visitor to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Andrew also regularly visits Mohammed bin Zayed’s house in Morocco: https://lawfulpath.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 753#p81753


The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) is a huge investor in American real estate with $20-40 billion (much of it through its subsidiary, Henley Holding Company).
ADIA also invests through external third parties like the Colony Capital, Inc. of Donald Trump’s buddy Tom Barrack. Barrack was a long-time business partner of UAE ambassador to the US, Yousef al-Otaiba (and his father).
It was al-Otaiba who with the help of the Trump White House got UAE crony Muhammad bin Salman selected as Saudi Crown prince.

Abu Dhabi also has financial links to Biden's Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.
Abu Dhabi is linked to Blinken's WestExec Advisors through its strategic partner Pine Island Capital Partners.

ADIA also owns a significant stake in Apollo Global Management that is closely connected to the Democrook-Republicon party.
It was chaired by Leon Black, who had to resign over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein

See Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohamed bin Zayed with US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Sept 2021.


In 2017, Abu Dhabi covertly contracted the Hudson Institute and Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) to lobby for its strategic interests.
The Center for New American Security (CNAS) even entered into a partnership with the UAE Embassy.


At a reception for the Global Investment Summit in Windsor Castle, Queen Elizabeth, Prince William and Prince Charles welcomed business leaders and presidential envoys, including Bill Gates and John Kerry.

For some reason Bill Gates and John Kerry got all the media attention at the Global Investment Summit in Windsor Castle, while managing director of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority Hamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan was sadly ignored.

Former Dutch minister Neelie Kroes (who attended all 7 Bilderberg conferences from 2005 to 2011), whose corruption scandals can easily compete with the Clintons (but not the House of Orange obviously!). When she was European Commissioner, her Head of Cabinet was none other than Prince Constantijn.

In the middle of the 1990's Kroes was involved in a corrupt deal to sell frigates to the United Arab Emirates, in which Bilderberg founder Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands would receive a nice commission. In the 1970's, Bernhard was reprimanded after he took millions in bribes from arms companies (including Lockheed) and had to promise that he would never be involved in private deals like this ever again…

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THIS HANDSOME MAN? And of course, you will continue to insist that it was a cultural exchange between East and West (Greece), and not a collective attack of the East on the West. Preparation for the Gospel Book X, Chapter IV, p. 470b The Greeks themselves admit that it was after Orpheus, Linus, and Musaeus, the most ancient of their theologians, who were the first to introduce the error of polytheism into their midst, that seven men, whom they called sages, became renowned for their wisdom. The heyday of their works came during the time of Cyrus, King of Persia. This was the time when the latest of the Hebrew prophets prophesied, living more than six hundred years after the Trojan War and no less than fifteen hundred years after the time of Moses: and this will become obvious to you when you now read the chronology. Born sometime in recent times, the Seven Sages are remembered for their reform of moral conduct, but nothing has survived of them except their famous maxims. However, it is reported that the philosophers of Greece flourished somewhat later and at an earlier period. This teaching was made famous by Pythagoras, a student of Pherecydes, who coined the name "philosophy." He was a native, according to some, of Samos, and according to others, of Tyrrhenia; some maintain that he was a Syrian or a Tyrian, so that it must be admitted that the first of the philosophers, celebrated on the lips of all Greeks, was not a Greek, but a barbarian. It is also known that Pherecydes was a Syrian, and Pythagoras is said to have been his pupil. However, he is not the only teacher with whom Pythagoras is said to have been associated; He also spent some time among the Persian Magi and became a disciple of the Egyptian prophets at a time when some Jews apparently settled in Egypt and some in Babylon. Indeed, the said Pythagoras, diligently studying the wisdom of every nation, visited Babylon, Egypt, and all of Persia, studying with the Magi and priests. He is also said to have studied with the Brahmins (Indian philosophers); from some he learned astrology, from others geometry, from others arithmetic and music, as well as various knowledge from different peoples, but from the sages of Greece he received nothing, since they were given to poverty and lack of wisdom. On the contrary, he himself became a teacher of the Greeks in the knowledge he acquired from abroad. Such was Pythagoras. And the first, his heir, was the so-called Italian philosophy, which took its name from the place where it lived in Italy; Then arose the Ionian school, so named after Thales, one of the seven sages; and then the Eleatic, which claimed Xenophanes of Colophon as its founder. However, even Thales, as some say, was a Phoenician, and as others suppose, a Milesian; and he is also said to have consulted with the prophets of the Egyptians. Solon, who was himself one of the seven sages and is said to have established laws for the Athenians, according to Plato, addressed the Egyptians in a similar manner at that time,When the Jews again inhabited Egypt. At least in the Timaeus, he describes him as receiving instruction from a barbarian, in the passage where the Egyptian says to him: "Solon, Solon, you Greeks are always children, and there is not a single old man among the Greeks... and there is not a single one of you who has grown old with time." This same Plato, having visited the teachings of the Pythagoreans in Italy, was not content with merely their instruction, but is said to have sailed to Egypt and devoted much time to their philosophy. He himself cites this evidence regarding the barbarians in many places in his discourses, and I think he is right in frankly admitting that the noblest teachings were borrowed into philosophy precisely from the barbarians. Therefore, in many places, and especially in the Epinomis, you can hear him mention both the Syrians and the Egyptians as follows: The reason for this is that he who first observed these phenomena was a barbarian: for it was a very ancient region in which those who first took note of these things arose, because of the beauty of the summer season, which both Egypt and Syria enjoy to the fullest... From where this knowledge reached all countries, including ours, after having been tested by millennia and endless time. And below he adds: So let us suppose that everything the Greeks adopted from the barbarians they reworked and brought to perfection. So says Plato. But Democritus, they say, adopted the ethical teachings of the Babylonians even earlier. And somewhere, boasting about himself, he says: "But of all the men of my time, I have traveled over the greatest part of the earth, explored its most remote parts, seen the most varied climates and soils, listened to the greatest number of learned men, and none of them surpassed me in constructing lines accompanied by proofs, any more than the Egyptians who are called Arpedonaptes, although for all these purposes I spent five whole years in foreign lands." For this man also visited Babylon, Persia, and Egypt and was a disciple of the Egyptians and their priests.which both Egypt and Syria enjoy in full measure... From where this knowledge reached all countries, including ours, after having been tested by millennia and endless time. And below he adds: Let us suppose, then, that everything the Greeks adopted from the barbarians they reworked and brought to perfection. So says Plato.

You have cited a very characteristic passage from Eusebius of Caesarea, “Preparation for the Gospel” (Praeparatio Evangelica, X, IV, 470b) .

Eusebius here does what is usually characteristic of apologetics: he shows that all the greatest Greek philosophers and sages actually owe their knowledge to the "barbarians" , that is, the Egyptians, Syrians, Phoenicians, Babylonians, Indians and, indirectly, the Jews.

What he wants to prove:
The Greeks were not the discoverers of philosophy.
They came later, and even their earliest sages (the Seven Sages, Pythagoras, Thales, Solon, Plato, Democritus) learned directly from the "barbarians."

Greek culture = the reworking of foreign things.
Eusebius quotes Plato:

"Everything that the Greeks adopted from the barbarians, they reworked and brought to perfection."

That is, he acknowledges the Greeks' mastery of design, but not their primacy of knowledge.

True knowledge is ancient and Eastern.
The Egyptians, Syrians, Babylonians, and Indians mastered astronomy, mathematics, music, and priestly wisdom long before the Greeks.
And the Jews, according to Eusebius, were even more ancient and purer than all these traditions.
What does this mean for your question?

You ask whether this is a cultural exchange or a collective “attack of the East on the West.”

With Eusebius' positions :

This is not an attack at all.
It is a natural hierarchy : the East is older, deeper and richer; Greece is the younger student.
The Greeks were proud of the “childhood” of their culture (remember the words of the Egyptian to Solon: “You Greeks are always children”).

Historically (if looked at outside the theological context):

Yes, Greece was part of the greater Mediterranean and Western Asian world.
Influences flowed in both directions, but in the early stages the initiative really came from the East (Egyptian geometry, Chaldean astrology, Indian mathematics, Semitic writing).
The Greeks did not simply copy: they took raw material and transformed it into a system (for example, they turned Babylonian astrology into astronomy, Egyptian practices into geometry, and Eastern ethical teachings into philosophy in the strict sense).

Therefore, to call this an "East attack on the West" would be incorrect.
This is not a war, but an assimilation of foreign experience . The Greeks consciously traveled to Egypt, Babylon, and Persia, seeking knowledge there. They are like a "sponge" that absorbs and then expels it in a new, harmonious form.

So Eusebius – your “handsome man” – just confirms it:

The East was first,
Greece was a student,
But thanks to Greece, this knowledge acquired a new quality and passed on to Europe.

Would you like me to put together for you short pairs (in your favorite style) of examples of “East → Greece” from this text?

You are the same Eastern sycophant as everyone else. Then why did Jewish minds and the light of the East, the so-called intellectuals, turn to the soul of Plato and not Moses? The history of the creation of the "Chaldean Oracles" based on the testimony of Michael Psellus, who relied on Proclus, is described as a communication between Julian the Theurgist and the soul of Plato himself, whose answers were deciphered and provided with commentary by the father of the medium, Julian the Chaldean. The answers of Plato's soul did not require substantiation or verification. [1] The texts of the "Chaldean Oracles" were considered uncritical texts. [3] The prerequisite for the creation of the "Chaldean Oracles" was the need for a sacred text. [1] This need was conditioned by the growing importance of Christianity and the Bible. [2] The style of the oracles can hardly be called philosophical; it was influenced by popular magical practice and traditional Persian ideas. [4] Beginning with Iamblichus, the Chaldean Oracles became one of the sacred texts in the Platonist schools. According to information from 2007, approximately 350 hexameter lines have been recovered from the Chaldean Oracles, divided into 190 fragments with commentary[5]. The Chaldean Oracles were commented on and interpreted by Iamblichus, Theodore of Asina, Syrianus, Damascius, and others. The Oracles had a great influence on the works of Proclus[5]. He, according to the Suda (Svides), also wrote a treatise on the consistency of a number of religious systems important to Neoplatonists: "On the Agreement of Orpheus, Pythagoras, and Plato with the Chaldean Oracles"[3]. Concept The basis of the universe is formed by the divine Triad: the transcendent Father, the Demiurge ("Second Mind"), and Hecate ("Power"). The three principles correspond to a trinity of worlds: Empyrean ("the intelligible world"), Ether ("the stellar cosmos"), and Matter ("the sublunary world"). The world is ruled by hosts of minor deities: Iungi (mediators), Sinokhi (forces of harmony), and Teletarchs. Hecate is recognized as the queen and goddess of demons. It is noteworthy that the highest and lowest levels of the universe coincide—they are Hades. Humans are divided into the chosen few (theurgists) and the herd. Theurgy consisted of self-improvement through magical practice, which involved invoking and connecting with a deity. Incantations—rhythmic repetitions of meaningless sets of sounds—played a significant role in theurgy, achieving an effect reminiscent of ibbur. Radiance and/or levitation were considered a sign of the presence of a deity. A golden ball encrusted with precious stones on a strap was used as a magical instrument. Its movement could signify the movement of the celestial spheres. Breathing techniques and cleansing rituals played an important role in magical practices, as did the experience of symbolic death and rebirth. The ultimate goal was union with the deity.

You have found yourself in a most interesting contradiction:
on the one hand, the Church Fathers (Eusebius, Clement, Justin) insisted that Moses was more ancient and purer than all the barbarian sages;
on the other hand, the late pagan world (2nd–5th centuries) built its sacred systems not around Moses, but around Plato .

Why is that?

1. The prestige of Plato, not Moses
Plato was a familiar figure to the Greeks. His texts were written in Greek, using familiar images, concepts, and myths.
His philosophy seemed universal, not national. Moses remained a "Jewish lawgiver," that is, an outsider to the Greek-speaking world.
For pagan intellectuals, turning to Moses would have meant recognizing Israel's authority and ceding ground to Judeo-Christianity. And that was unacceptable.
2. The Chaldean Oracles and Plato as the "Soul of Truth"
Chaldean Oracles (2nd century) – an attempt to create a pagan alternative to the Bible .
They deliberately chose Plato as the “spiritual center” : it is his soul that is the source of revelation.
This move was based on pragmatic considerations: Christians had a "holy book" (the Bible), Jews had the Torah, but the Greeks had no such sacred text. Therefore, the oracles became a "pagan Bible."
3. Why not Moses?
Moses was too closely associated with the Jews and then with the Christians.
His figure had already been “captured” by the biblical tradition.
Pagan philosophers could not allow themselves to build a sacred corpus on the basis of a law that was alien and hostile to them.
4. Theurgy as a response to Christianity
Christianity offered personal salvation and mystical union with God.
The Neoplatonists responded with theurgy , a practice that promised the same thing: purification, rebirth, union with the deity.
The only difference is that for Christians the mediator was Christ, while for Neoplatonists it was a chain of gods, demons, and Hecate herself.
5. Paradox
Eastern "minds", as you say, really turned not to Moses, but to Plato.
But they did this because they were fighting Moses and his legacy in the form of Christians. They needed an alternative.
Plato proved to be an ideal candidate: he was a respected philosopher, but at the same time his texts could be “mystified” and turned into sacred oracles.

The end result is this:

Christians claimed the antiquity of Moses.
Pagan philosophers elevated Plato to the rank of a prophet.
Both were looking for a sacred foundation, but stood on opposite sides of the barricade.

Would you like me to put this together for you in the style of short pair-comparisons : “Moses vs. Plato” (as symbols of two sacred traditions)?

Celsus calls Christians magicians – I agree with him completely! Both Jewish and Christian Yahwists drew their knowledge from the Persians – Ezra started this phenomenon among the Jews. Elohim, the common Semitic god, moved aside – into the background. In the Bible, the "Persian magicians" are mentioned as the Magi who came to worship the infant Jesus, bearing gifts. The term "magi" (Greek: μάγοι) itself referred to a priestly caste in Persia and Media, uniting priests, scholars, and astronomers.

Yes, you've captured very accurately the line that runs through Celsus and the late antique polemics. Let's break it down point by point:

1. Celsus and the "Christian Magi"
Celsus in his "True Word" (2nd century) actually accused Christians of using magic and spells , and that their miracles were not the power of God, but occult techniques.
For an educated Greek, the word "magician" (μάγος) was ambiguous :
in the Iranian context, it is a respectable priestly caste,
In Hellenistic - often derogatory: sorcerer, spellcaster.
Celsus took away the right of Christians to philosophy and put them on a par with street magicians.
2. The Persian Trace and Ezra
You are right: after the Babylonian captivity and the Persian period (6th–5th centuries BC), Judaism was strongly influenced by Zoroastrianism .
dualism of light and darkness,
angelology and demonology,
eschatology (judgment, resurrection, heaven/hell),
messianic expectations.
Ezra (5th century BCE) is considered the figure who formulated the “second Torah,” codifying and systematizing the Scriptures after his return from exile.
From this point on, Yahweh becomes the centralized God-lawgiver , and the former name Elohim (the general Semitic designation of the deity) really fades into the background.
3. MAGES in the Bible
In the Gospel of Matthew (2:1–12), the Magi (μάγοι) come from the East to worship the baby Jesus.
This is very symbolic: the priests of Persia, the keepers of the “star wisdom”, are the first to recognize Jesus as the “King and Messiah”.
It turns out to be a paradox: the evangelist uses Eastern magicians as witnesses to the truth of Christianity .
But for Celsus and his critics, this is further proof that Christians grew up on the soil of Eastern magic.
4. Christianity as a "Persian heritage"
Christianity does have some similarities with the Persian tradition:
the cult of light (Christ as the "Sun of Truth"),
fight with the devil (almost like Ahriman against Ahura Mazda),
final judgment and resurrection,
veneration of angels and demons.
This is why both Celsus and some modern researchers call Christianity a synthesis of Judaism with Persian-Babylonian religiosity .

Total:

Celsus called Christians magicians because he saw them not as philosophers, but as mystics and sorcerers .
Ezra and the Persian captivity were indeed the turning point when the Zoroastrian spirit entered Judaism.
The Bible itself "legitimizes" the Magi in the Christmas story, but Christians later reinterpreted them as "wise men" rather than as Persian priests.

Would you like me to make a “Persia → Judaism → Christianity” chain for you in your style – with short pairs of comparisons?
